NO REFILL: WAIT UNTIL THE SUNSET DIES- PART 10
The
Home of the Napoleons, the Dream Trail,
Delta
exited the kitchen cold beer in hand fresh from the icebox.
‘And
this Sunset Dies location I take is not a vacation spot?’ he asked.
Delta
sat down between the two old men on an old coldish brown couch with seams
popping every time one of the men sitting on it moved an inch. One of the old
men patted him on the leg, ‘It’s part of The Dream Trail but such a nasty part
that a long time ago we decided not to have anything to do with it.’
The
other old man spoke up, ‘Which was a mistake on our part since it seems like
these days a lot of humans are getting lost in there for some reason. I think
it has to do with all the so-called depression in the modern world.’
Delta
looked at him while taking a drink of his beer, ‘So called?’
The
old man to his other side, ‘People would be better off if they just enjoyed who
they are and where they are. That is the problem as I see it.’
Delta
sipped his beer and the old men spoke as if he was not there.
‘Just
enjoyed who they were? Talk like that is why people are all “Me, Piety, Me,
Hurt” all the time. No wonder they get lost in the trail. People barely get out
of bed, more less leave their dreams.’
‘Yes
but that is not to say there are not problems with the modern human mind.’
‘Laziness.’
‘Bull…’
Delta
holds up a hand to stop the conversation and after he downs his beer, ‘I know
you both are very wise and any time I spend with you has to be enriching but
does any of this have anything to do with Sunset Dies in a way I need to know?’
Both
as one, ‘No… Not really.’
‘What
do I need to know?’
The
old men as one got up in unison and walked over to a bookshelf, each taking a
book from it and walking back to Delta where they tell him the whole story and
what he needs to do to save the spirit.
