[October 6] [Original] Hand in the Waterfall
Title: Hand in the Waterfall
Day/Theme: October 6- They say, "Goodbye, goodbye," in a falling mist
Series: Original
Character/Pairing: Harul, Evan, Pierrel
Rating: G
In the waterfall, he sees a hand.
Harul stares at it for a moment, then blinks and rubs at his eyes and looks back. The hand is still there, and he glances at the others, who don’t seem to have noticed. He looks back at the hand, which has actually moved a little this time- it looks a little as though it’s drooping, or the person it belongs to (presuming there is one) is drooping, part of his brain supplies helpfully as the rest of him jerks back.
The hand droops even more, if that’s possible, and Harul feels bad except that there’s some part of him trying to kick him in the head and yelling that hands don’t belong in waterfalls!
He does his best to ignore it, forcing himself to relax a little so that whatever the hand does next won’t come as such a surprise. “What is it that you want?” he asks it, because really, if there’s a hand in a waterfall, it must be in want of something.
The hand doesn’t respond vocally (it’s just a hand, then, Harul decides, though that doesn’t make it any less freaky), but it does turn to wave at him. Somewhat bewildered, Harul waves back, and this seems to be the charm, the hand drawing back into the waterfall, or… somewhere else, maybe. There’re things said about this kind of happenstance, after all…
“Hey, Harul, what’re you looking at?” Evan calls, having noticed (finally! part of Harul thinks, but not for long).
Harul turns, and smiles at his friends. “Oh, nothing,” he says, and splashes water at Pierrel, who squawks indignantly and returns it in kind.
Laughter returns.
