This is a slightly surreal narrative poem about a lonely boy who was abandoned and now lives in a wasteland ravaged by battles between “monsters” and “warlords.”
Stability, companionship, warm love, and the ordinary happiness of the civilized world in his hazy memories of the past are all luxuries far beyond his reach.
One day, he looks up and sees the sun falling from the sky as the world sinks into eternal night. A girl who seems utterly harmless smiles and comes to stand before him...
Do you want to search for the past, the truth, happiness, and your birth parents? Then come with me, she says.
When the world becomes a ruin, buried beneath the twilight in the south of the city.
At that moment, a sentence suddenly pops into the boy’s mind.
He will use that sentence to begin this story, and to end it, and dedicate it to the story.
The Faint Light Generation, Part 3: South of the City at Dusk
Theme: Every story will eventually reach its ending, whether happy or sad.
