Spilled Milk

He stared up at the sky for a moment, thinking. What was up there? Anything special? Anything…new? Was there something beyond the stars littering the black blanket? Was there something deeper within that darkness? Was there anything more to what he knew?

 

Riku sighed and rolled his eyes downward towards the ocean that was licking his feet. His place was here on Destiny Islands; that was what he had always been told. He had no reason to yearn for something more. Want so much more.
