Apocollo, the boy who would end the world
-10
Wake up. Wake up, little Apocollo.
Alright, yes. Hello there. Shh, don't be afraid. I'm a friend. A really good friend.
You probably don't remember me, though. No, you wouldn't. No.
I am just a friend. I have come to wake you up! Oh, rub that sleep out of your eyes, little one. We have things to do. Big things! Yes, yes, that's right. Now come, follow me. It is almost time, and if we don't hurry we will be late.
Now, I want you to take my hand, and think about something for me, alright? I want you to imagine something, can you do that? You're good at imagining things. Now, I want you to close your eyes. That's right, just like that. Now keep them closed and imagine the night sky, so big and black, with all its shiny little stars. Imagine you are up there, with the stars. Can you picture it? Yes, they are beautiful. Each one is held up by its own tiny string. did you know that? They hang like that from heaven, placed there by angels. That's right. They've been waiting for you to come!
Now, eyes still closed, right, imagine you have a pair of scissors. They can be any size you like. These lights, you see, need to come down. Heaven is done with them and they need you to take them down. The strings are the thing. You need to cut them. Walk up to each star and just - snip! - just like that! Cut each one. See how pretty the stars are as they fall? They're falling down, down, down, slowly toward the earth. Shh, shh, don't pay attention to the noises outside.
They only scream because they don't understand.
