∞ 84: Solace from time's passage [action/written]

[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week.

Eventually, he will fall asleep on the couch. It was just supposed to be a nap -- half an hour at most. But that half an hour turns into a whole hour. And then two. (This may even repeat in his bedroom later on.)

Sometime later in the evening, he will write in his journal.]


Accomplishments could be said to be life's milestones. Some are far apart, and others are so close together that they may very well overlap. Some may be considered mundane, and others utterly unique to your circumstances.

If you are willing, I would like to hear of a mundane accomplishment. Something that others could relate to. I will share one of my own: I graduated from school as a teenager.

I never did, actually. Not in the orchard, anyway, though I was already climbing other trees by then.

Well, the area was pretty safe. Back then. [And Bellemere probably couldn't have stopped her if she'd tried.] But I usually had my sister with me. She's a couple of years older.

Her name's Nojiko. She runs the orchard now. [And she grins.] I'm guessing you'll learn a lot of things with a question like that.
