2008-03-9 - Fireflies ------ A fragment of a story

Flickers of soft gold bounce through the haze of sunset. The small lights dancing merrily like candles floating on water. Their mystic glow illuminating the face of a girl. Her youthful green eyes bright with the excitement of seeing these small bearers of light for the first time. She giggles as each small flame came to life before fading once more.

“I told you! I told you that tiny flames were lighting up the night” a boy told her proudly as though he had been the one who created the fantastic phenomenon.

“Why do they keep doing that?” She asked the world, not directing her question at anyone in particular.

“I know...” he whispered to her.

“No you don't...”

“I do too, I'm older-”

“By only a week.”

“I still know more than you.” he huffed. “Ask me why they flicker.”

“Fine,” she sighed, irritated but still curious. “Why do they do that?”

“they flicker on and off because each one grows tired and needs to take a break. Then, when their energy returns they light up again.” He tells her confidently.

“That's silly.”

“Its true.” He retorted, his voice grave and serious.

So it was, each night of that long summer they would wait to see the tiny flames. Each night she would wonder why the lights would flash. Each night he would come up with an answer until one day they both knew the real reason why the lights flashed and they shared that reason with their children. Those mystical flames were fireflies.
