In the darkned streets of a stilish city, neon lights, night life, and clandestine fun. A young boy around wanders, fashioned with black hair matching the night sky and dark purple eyes containing secretly all the stars of the universe within, wears a black hat, and skeleton accesories, pants and gloves, a black tank top, nothing else, he is alone in the world, he doesn’t know from where does he come, or where does he go, he only wants to live infinite todays.
He has nothing to lose and no place to go, still he longs for a love, he has never known. Yet his heart is in love with the night, so he lifts up his sight and thinks.
“I long for my life, please take my hand and take me for a ride under the night sky. Infinite horizons, infinite posibilities, starry night sky, my eyes share the view of the stars with many other beings out there in the galaxy.”
Leaving behing his thoughts in the air, with a confident melancholy in his manners, he continues his wanders around, till he arrives to what it looks like a clandestine race.
“I contain all the universe within, i will never be alone, as long as I am with myself, no matter what part or corner of the world, I will always be whole one with all that exists and that is yet to exist… My esence is one, infinite and eternal.”
His broken thoughts scattered as the race started, the gas smell, the noises, the screams. Four were the racing cars, waiting for the flag to come down and start. Somehow, the girl holding the flag called the attention of his serene stare.
A tall girl, in very long hair, colored in a beautiful hue of cyan. Styled in two pony tails, and a small blue dress framing her curves with a cool alienigenous style.
She waves the flag, the race starts, there they go all four cars full speed, around the city, trying to avoid the non participant cars who drive their routes.People minding their own business around, he got lost in thought.
“I wish I could drive fast, leaving the sorrow behind, get high in the dark, be engulfed by the night, driving as far from pain, as heaven is wide”
A thin line traced by a fingertip, the fine thread that connects destinies, no matter time or space as it stretches infinitely, this time shrinked shorter between them.
—Who do you think shall win? I’ve put my bet upon the yellow car, did you put a bet on any?—
Asked the girl, he has seen before, waving the flag, she turned her face from the cars to see his face. He returned from his distant thoughts as he heard her peculiar voice, and turned his sight from the horizon to her. In that moment the time stoped for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat or two. The vague feeling of belonging warmed the coldness in his stomach.
—To be honest, I was not even watching the race, I don’t really care who shall win—He said, after short sigh.
—You can always choose you know, it doesn’t matter if the race is already started, or in the middle or whatever it is, the choices are yours to pick, red, blue and green — She said and then put a yellow thing like candy in her mouth and continued—You can as well pick neither, and you would be here just waiting for the race to end, and that would had not been that fun, if you had picked one to follow—
He thought about her words, noded in silence and then tried so, picked a red car that first caught his attention and followed it going around the circuit.
—Well, is all about the fun, no bet, no fun, what about a small bet between you and me, hm? —She cheerfuly asked.
—I… don’t know, I’m kinda broke, don’t have anything at all, but what i’m wearing now, and I dont think is that expensive to be worth the bet —He replied indifferent. And then she requested.
—It doesn’t need to be something expensive, as I said, is all about the fun, and if is true you have nothing but what you have with yourself, then I take that, if my yellow car wins, I want you to talk with me for an hour, if your red car wins, I invite you a drink, what do you say, deal?—
—Okay— He replied shortly, along with agreeing smile.
Loud screams, motor noises, electronic beats of music bumping in the ears of the listeners, the race was even sometimes, the red car sometimes was in first place, sometimes the green one, sometimes the yellow one, there were chances for any of them to win. In the last lap, the blue car was side by side the yellow one. This made both of them really interested in the race, though at the last moment, the red car won. And she said with a big smile:
—Your lucky day! Come with me, to claim the prize, i get you something to drink-
He followed her, like a silent ghost, till their shadows turned pink and black under the neon light of a flickering sign. They entered the small club and took a seat in the upper floor mezanine.
—I like the mezanine better, I like the view from here, what would you like to drink? —She spoke, to him and with indiferent stare he replied.
—Whatever thing is fine…Let you pick —
—There are so many drinks to pick from, I couldnt pick random, not knowing anything about you, the flavors and effects of each drink, are not something to take so lightly, if they are spread before you to pick, you should at least know which effects you dislike — A bit worried for not knowing what to pick for him so he liked, she said. At what he replied simply like:
-Well.. I’m.. not that much an expert in drinks, in fact i’ve never drunk, so .. I wouldnt know what effect do i like nor dislike, sometimes I feel I’d like to try them all, one by one, but I don’t know if I can afford them all, so… I guess only by recommendations I could try to figure out if I drink one or the other—
—oh.. In that case, I think you should start with something that is light, sweet and soft, probably a fruit smoothie, just with the right amount of alcohol, to spice up the taste—So he nodded agreeing at her recomendation. And she ordered to the barist, a couple of drinks.
—So.. would you like to drive in a race?—
—I would, though, I don’t think I can drive that way- He replied to her question and though to himself “ in fact, i’ve never seen a car before… I think”
—Too bad, for i was about to challenge you, for a race, though I dont own a racing car myself… The important is not in the things you own, but in the way you use the things you already have—With a smile she replied, and added. —Would you take me for a ride sometime? I want to see the night sky in the road—
—But..i don’t have a car either—
—If you don’t have something, may be because you don’t need it, or because you didn’t know how to ask for it, but will come to you eventually if you really need it for your purpouse, or if you know that you already have it, meanwhile, concentrate in what you already have, and you will never lack of something, I said I wanted to see the night sky in the road, you have the road, and the night sky. — She said as her last words matched what she saw, the million stars within his deep purple eyes. In a moment of magic, that made time slow down by.
And all of a sudden, there was a black out.
-hm! What was that?-
-Nothing special, is just the electric monster, you see, the one that feeds from the electricity, but dont fear the darkness, there is nothing you havent seen before in it, besides, it is never too dark, you see?-
-I see, there will always be stars to light the path, to guide you, wherever your home is, though, I don’t know where mine is -
-Don’t worry, as long as you are you, you will always be home, no matter where, just remember always who you are —
—Mhm, right, in that case I’ve made of the night my home long ago, so I cannot really fear the dark, for I know no dark can reach you if you only let light in —
—Exactly hehe- she giggled and added - Even if the monster who eats the light comes, just remember everything you have seen when there was light, hang in that memory and you will always know how to fend off the creatures… the electric rainbow generates infinite power, see? The light is returning —
They stared at the distance, where nine generators of neon color blinked till they were fully on again, seven in the middle, one on ground, and one in the air.
As he was fascinated staring at the colorful lights on the distance, she got very close to him and sthole from him a tender kiss upon his cheek.
—Well, I have to go home by now, and probably you too—
—I..guess—
A sudden melancholy stung his heart as he said bye to her, feeling that for once, loneliness was no longer his name.
“So, my old dear friend loneliness, returns to me, as if I wasn’t used to see, the empty spaces in my soul, that I desperately try to fill in meaningless things, or that I sometimes stop trying to fill, to just admit I like spaceous holes ”
Melancholy and longing for peace in his heart, squeezed a tear from his eye. She caught the tear in her fingertip, stared at it as if she could see like in a crystal ball and said:
-The story of your life, within a single drop… -
