500 Million

Description

Dimming the Lights

        It began with a strange question and ended with a realization that could be taken as an answer, I suppose. But the part you’re probably interested in is the middle, am I correct? Then I regret to tell you that it isn’t terribly interesting. There is very little change of scenery or cast. There is, along with a few minor characters:

       -A boy

       -A girl

       -A book

       -And, of course, the angels.

       But this isn’t a love story, mind you. It isn’t even a story about love (the two are different), if anything it’s a story about taming. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

       Anyways, the question: Did the sheep eat the rose?

Foreword

Hello everybody :)

This is for MusicChibi's Challenges, Big Bang prompt #7. I'm finally back from my hiatus, so it seemed as good as time as any to post the foreword for this. 

This fanfic is largely inspired by The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. If you've never read it, I highly recommend it. I love the idea of a child teaching an adult about life, so that is what this story will be about.

I apologize in advance if this story comes off as too depressing. I tend towards sappy, maudlin characters, mostly because I'm exactly the same way. I'll try my hardest to keep the plot from getting overly dark and sad.

I'm aiming for this to be a oneshot, but knowing me, it will probably end up being longer. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading it, no matter what the length is.

Wow. From the description, you had me captured with so few words. Within the first two paragraphs, your style reminded me of Lewis Carroll. I really haven't read something like this in a long time - It's very poetic. I found the batting back and forth between opinions throughout something familiar to me, personally. "every war is a civil war" really stuck with me.I hope you write another piece like this when the inspiration grabs you.
