Shalbie listened to the repairman on their way to his house happy
about the stories his new drunk friend was telling him, after all to him
they sounded believable. “Well you see friend we shadow shave places
that look familiar to us, but we have no idea why they do when we first
come to awareness of the light world. I think its because we were
summoned on those spots to begin with, but I have nothing to prove
it.”He said as he opened the doro to his house and lead the ink blob in.“There’s
probably some stew by the cooking pot, i’ll heat it up while you rest
okay.” he added as he left the repairman’s side and walked towards the
kitchen to begin making some food for the both of them.
“Sh-sure,” the Repairman managed, no longer able to explain he wasn’t a shadow. “Thanks…Thanks for all this…Y-you really didn’t…”
Gosh, was it him, or was everything feeling heavy all of a sudden…?
“…Didn’t need to…”
He staggered forward a few feet, before finally falling fast asleep (but not before falling flat on his face). He became little more than an inky puddle on the floor, with bubbles popping up as he quietly snored.
