The Sun Falls
My name is Gin. I live on a tropical island where the summer is always here. The winters still feel like summer. The sun is always black now. It used to be regular. My story has just begun.
" Wake up! It's morning! " My dad told me. I walked down the stairs to see him cooking breakfast. The sun was so bright that day. " Bacon? " I asked him. " You know. " My dad said. I walked to the sliding glass door that we had in our house for some fresh air. The trees were tall in our yard, and we had a great view of the ocean. The summers were great, we had it all year.
" Breakfast is ready! " My dad told me. " Be right there. " I told him as i was walking back. " Thanks! " I told him. As i finished my breakfast i heard a sound. " Is that the dog? " I had asked myself. I wanted to see the dog. It was coming from the yard, as we had a small brick wall and some grass over the wall.
" Hey Spot! " Our dog was standing right by the wall, looking at something. I sat down on the wall, letting him jump on me. He was a pretty small dog, some kind of terrier.
" It sure is hot out. " But the sun was out. I could feel it. " It's only 5:00. The sun shouldn't be out till 6:00. " That was strange, it was like the sun was beaming on my back as i sat on the wall. But i knew it was there, and it was different.
Was that right? I double checked to see if the sun was up. It wasn't. But it was there. I could feel it. I went back in the house after that. I took our dog with me into the house, and i looked for my dad. " Dad? " I yelled. He didn't respond. " Oh yeah. " I realized he went to work shortly after that. " What do i do? It's only me home right now. Mom is at work. " I took Spot into my room and closed the door.
I opened the window to check if the sun was up, and it was. Just, black. " Black sun again. " I said to myself. I grabbed the phone and called my dad. He works in the sun, so it should be okay. " Hello? Hey dad, the sun is black again. " I told him. " What? No it isn't, again. " He told me. Why is it black? It was black for such a long time. I don't remember when it was regular.
It started 4 years ago. i started seeing things different. The sun always turned black, and the moon was always red. I always loved to research about the sun and the moon, and why they turn different colors. Whenever i researched, it always said it was lunar and solar eclipses. " Is it a color blindness or something like that? " I said while looking out the window at the sun. The doctors never told me or my parents. They always said i was just making stuff up. But I wasn't.
I ended up falling asleep on my chair still looking at the window, my dog was let out of my room by my mom. The moon was a deep red, just how it always was since that day. " What even happened that day? I really don't remember. " I said to myself. " Think think! " I said. I still don't remember. Nobody does. It's just a lost memory by now, I'm the only one that still remembers even a little bit about it.
I went to my bed and went to sleep. " I'll see another day. If anyone even remembers. " When i woke up, i went straight to my computer. I looked up: Sun incident 4 years ago.
" No results, as expected. " But i had know, but nobody remembers it. " Was it erased from their mind? Or am i being paranoid? " I asked myself.
I ran downstairs and went straight into the yard. The only thing i was gonna do that day was observe if the sun or moon would change colors. I grabbed a chair and sat down.
And thats when i realized it. Nobody wants to find out what happened. They are afraid of what happened so they forcefully forgot. But I wasn't gonna just forget like everybody else. I looked at the sun, and it was black again today. It always was black since that day. I had went back into the house to get some water, and when i went back outside, the sun was still black. Was i expecting a change?
I just don't get it. " Why does nobody remember anything? " I had asked myself. Maybe i should just give up. Maybe i should accept the truth. I'm different, i see things different. Im not regular, if i was why would the sun and moon be different colors? It was at that moment, i could see things regular. It was when i accepted.
