They grouped together on the fringes of the rock pool, avoiding the tremors of the massive creature that was knocking on their doorstep. Ari smiled, and looked at his friend. My brother said that my birthday was a few days ago,he said, rather unexpectedly. He smiled contentedly, though. He was happy to know had someone to tell. He was used to only sharing such things with himself. |
