In the blink of an eye—a blink lasting decades, a blink destroying me—those I’d not known well had forgotten me, and I them.  Only my closest friends and family remembered me.
 
Time passed, and Juliet, too, drifted slowly away across the vacuum.  She had a life to pursue: why linger on what was gone?
 
Even my parents eventually thought me lost, which perhaps I was.  But even something that cannot move or speak might be found.
 
Butler stayed close until his age took its toll.
 
Then the void that encompassed me grew until it was all there was.

Genre: Angst
Rating: G
Pairing: None

Artemis dreams in colour.

He chases multi-hued rainbows—the physics of refraction bending before his genius—and leprechauns dance around him as he bathes in the bright gold he finds.

When he wakes, the pale light of the full moon leeches all but the shadows from around him.  In the attic, his mother is weeping, lost without his father beside her, and the Butlers converse in barely audible, worried tones.  

An idea sparks in his mind… but, in the moon-bleak darkness, he instantly dismisses it, pressing his wet face into the pillow.

It had only been a dream, after all.
