100WMS - Mother, I'm Here

3rd of the 100 Word Mini Saga series. Inspired by 'Setting Sail, Coming Home' from Bastion

         

Mother, I'm here

I set out from the rocky shore, the sun's hot rays warming my skin and the salty sea air filling me up with each breath. A cool breeze soars up from the waves, rustling my hair and filling the sails. It's a sure sign I'm coming home.

I lie on my back and close my eyes as the clouds make way for me. The evening sun begins to set and I see it far in the distance. It's your star beckoning to me as it comes closer and closer, the brightness never dimmed.

Thank you for waiting mother, I'm here.
