[TW] NOWHERE AHEAD, NOWHERE BEHIND

[El Toro]

I’LL USE THE LIGHT FOR MY RETURN

”I think she’d be happy to meet you, one day.” Toro smiled a little at this; it was a nice thought to be worth meeting, even if it never happened and he never saw this boy again, and certainly not his daughter, no, it was unlikely that they would come upon each other once more. But who else had thought anyone would want to meet him?

He could think of no names. No faces.

”I can show you the path down,” the deer says. Toro nods. He slips to the altar-mouth, the shrine where no god waited for him, but one waited for Anzhelo. He hopes they walk in silence. He hopes they talk.

”Take me to Day, then, will you?” And two strange sad boys head down the mountain.
