Ok, I know this isn't "The Dark City", but I thought that in the mean time I could give you a little ficlet.

Es algo ñoño pero espero que te guste.

As the boat slowly moves away from the shore and the wind plays with my short locks I train my eyes on the horizon, admiring the sunset that paints the sky with colors. It is purple and violet, red and orange and the deep blue sea draws the line that divides the sky from the earth. That simple line that seems so close but yet so far away, and which separates the heavens from the oceans, the birds from the fish, the dead from the living.

I don’t think “empty” quite describes what I’m feeling right now. After all this years, all this moments, I need to rethink my life and I’m lost.

I don’t know how to learn to live alone since I actually never did. Before, I was someone else. I wasn’t living; I was simply existing, waiting for something that could teach me how to live.

What is left for me now? I don’t know how to live anymore. I’m supposed to know everything I can, learn everything I could but that isn’t true. I don’t know how to live in a world I’m not familiar with, an alien universe that I don’t think could ever feel familiar at all.

The waves move around the boat, hitting the wood with their serene pattern. It looks as if the ocean is moving at it’s own pace, taking our ship and letting it drift slowly in its waters. But even immersed in the mighty sea, the ship is under control. It uses the ocean and the ocean helps because the boat has given it the respect it deserves.

My mind keeps going back to all those adventures we had, the places we visited, the people we met. We traveled so many lands and, in a way, lived in so many different worlds, but no matter where we went, we always had a home. You were that familiar place I always could come back to, the thing that made me feel real whenever the world turned in a way I couldn’t understand. You were my anchor, and now I have nothing to hold on to.

I’m drifting right now but I know that you will help me calm the ocean. After all Xena, you are my friend, now and forever.

Adventure is too long and complicated to fit in a ficlet. Something short!

*glomp*

*hides the coke*
