Someguy Sketches 219 - Midnight Musings
The island of Mindanao was almost completely still. The air was filled with the buzzing of mole crickets, with the occasional cry from a Philippine nightjar in the distance to break it up.
Two spectral figures laid next to each other on a hillside, staring up at the stars. One was Samena Harrow, seclusive mage and inflation enjoyer; the other was Onyx Lofío, secretive bird ghost and recent partner to her. Sam's stomach was distended to the rough size of a small, slightly deflated yoga ball; Onyx's was about that of a handball.
Sam sighed. "Is this all there is?"
Onyx looked over. "Συγγνώμη? (Pardon?)"
"I mean, is this all there is to the afterlife? Being stuck as ghosts, forever trapped on the edge of the mortal realm?"
"Well, no," they recalled, "we can get banished."
"To where, though? What happens when a soul gets banished? Is there something on the other side, or is that just... it?"
Onyx sat up slightly. "How long has this been on your mind?"
She shook her head, her gut bobbing slightly along with it. "For a few years, I think? At least since those witch hunters got Tala...."
Onyx sighed. "I really don't know what to tell you; I'm still kinda surprised that this much is real."
"Yeah...." Sam turned back towards the sky.
"But..." Onyx began again, "I suppose that's what makes the time we have more meaningful."
Sam raised an eyebrow.
"There's no guarantee that there's something waiting for us on the other side, so we should make the most of our time here doing what makes us happy - whether that's becoming a celebrity, writing a novel for a small group of people, or simply lying inflated on a hill with the one you love."
She blushed at that. "Well said..."
Onyx rolled over onto their side so that they were right up next to Sam, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Her face heated up, and the air in her stomach turned to butterflies.
As she rode the high, Onyx rolled back over and resumed stargazing.
Putting a lot of thoughts that've been bothering me recently onto paper (also wanted an excuse to draw Sam and Onyx again).
