At first, everything had been clear and bright. Over time, they got brighter, and at one point, they got darker. The light didn't come back. So I sat down, watching the darkness close in, a small, faded light showing up, staying for a while, then leaving, only to return again. I forced the light away, and things were darker than before, only becoming darker.

     Things never brightened anymore, they just stayed dark, until one day, something showed up. A flower. It was small, but it stayed for a while, sometimes leaving, but it always returned. One time, it wilted a little, so I spoke to it about whatever and it looked better again. Over time, the darkness started fading away, light was coming back, though the darkness still came back some days.

     The flower was simple, it kept me company. I really like this flower, other small flowers, and eventually an entire field appeared. All because of a single flower.
