Here is my 7th post for CWWC! I used a grand total of 5 prompts! So without further ado, here is Another Day.
“I’ll beat you this time Judy!” Rev yelled behind his shoulder as he raced towards the waterfall.
“Not a chance!” With a renewed bolt, Judy quickly started gaining on her twin brother. It was the morning after their friend Jill, had returned to the Human World. The Ferryman missed her already, she had wanted Jill to stay and live with them.
“Oof!” Judy stumbled over a tree root. She caught herself on it, picked herself up and dashed on. She had lost a lot of ground, but she was gaining it back quickly. They neared the waterfall, and Rev barely beat her to the tree. It was an oak tree, with large branches that spread across the waterfall. The two siblings often came here, usually to read. They did so now, and scampered up the giant tree. Rev stopped at his favorite branch, while Judy continued to climb on. She soon reached her favorite spot. She spread out her books and started to read. Soon, a dragon by the name of Ginger came to sit with her. They sat together, simply enjoying the falls behind them. Presently, June closed her book and sat back.
“How’s the book?” Ginger asked her.
“Really good, but it has the best cliff-hangers ever!” She replied. “I think I would read forever if I could!”
She swung down to Rev. “Hey Rev, come on! We gotta get back.” He silently followed her down the tree and to the portals. They arrived to guard the portals shortly after.
The two plopped down and watched the Human World. They had a limited view, as they could only look through mirrors, but they could still see a lot. Judy flipped through the random places until she found the one she wanted. She watched Jill, as had just gotten home from school. She never failed to say hello into the little mirror she had in her room. She waved to Judy and Rev, then plopped down on her bed to watch TV.
The portal flickered. Then it changed channels. Judy looked at Rev, who was quickly finding a new channel to watch. Judy sighed. She knew Rev was missing Jill, and watching her didn’t help. So she just let him have his way this time. He continued to flip through the channels, and soon found a boy playing a video-game. Rev just stared at the young high school student. They continued to watch the game, with silhouetted monsters tromping through the forest. Judy realized he was playing the all popular Metroid. Text suddenly appeared on the television, “You know who I am.” Judy shuddered. She picked up her book and allowed Rev to guard the portals while she read. They would soon switch out. They passed the day in this manner, and it soon came to an end. They returned to The Tree and fell fast asleep.
And thus ended another day of the Ferrymen.
