Sun to God

Sun to God

The children walked. Then they began to run. Why are we running, one asked? No one knew. They ran faster. They began laughing. Why are we laughing? Not one knew. They laughed more. It was the eve of war but they didn’t know. The children walked. The children’s parents walked. The parents’ parents walked. Their shadows spilled ahead. Their shadows lagged behind. Then, they began to run. No one was laughing.
