lago calmo

[Apollo Haddix]

we prey as wolves among the sheep
and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep

He moved to the edge of the shore, crouching on the sandy shore to dip his hands into the lapping water. He had always loved Rabbit Lake and its pristine, clear waters. It was a very peaceful place to be. After seeing Savina, Apollo was happy that he had made the choice to return. He knew he had already passed by the AniWaya territory, but he wanted to be near Crimson Dreams for now. He could visit Lannen anytime. But for now, he would enjoy the area that he had called home only a few months prior.

The ripped jean shorts he once wore had grown too small. They had hugged quite snug at the hips, but as he grew older and larger, Apollo was unable to pull them on. No matter. A quick visit to Halifax had set him straight again. He now had a new pair of jeans to wear, ripped at the knees to reveal white calves. Two shirts had been tucked into his back pack, though he didn’t wear them now. The weather was too nice for that. "Buon essere casa," he muttered to himself, shaking the dampness from his palms, before resting them on his thighs. Crouched, he looked out over the crystal lake, before rising to his full height.
