Elder

MarQuee's picture
Last night, my friend and I were in the forest. We came across a beautiful white stag with red antlers. He was lying atop a stone pedestal. When we two fawns circled around, he stepped down and gave a bow. We returned this, and began to socialize. We clicked quickly, and the three of us began a journey through the forest, meeting other cliques and brethren. We named our new stag friend Elder. We stayed close to him, as if he was our father. We even met another deer on the way, our age, who we named 'Squiggles' due to the way his pictogram looked. So then there were four of us, enjoying the forest, frolicking, dancing and growing ever closer.

But then Elder led us back to the stony ruins, and lay back down atop his pedestal. He took a bow, and like a charming dream, he disappeared. I did my best to replicate his symbol in this image. If you read this Elder, whoever you are, I hope that someday I can meet you, and that you felt the same way we did. You're on our minds. We love you, Elder.
