Once there was a young girl that could control the weather….because of this she was shunned by everyone for miles around. This wasn’t hard for her because she lived on the backside of a country stretch that was barren for miles in each direction. But all the same, the people recognized that she was decidedly different and although they would be nice to her face, often she was the topic of town gossip and called “the weird little girl”.
One day she met a boy who never spoke. He was shunned by everyone for miles around. They met upon a dusty hill behind the old run down windmill. The sun was setting and you could still smell the honey suckles in the air. The chance meeting caused the weird little girl to perk up from her otherwise dull evening. “Hi there!” she exclaimed when she saw him. He didn’t speak. “I said hi!” she said louder this time. While her frustration poured out of her a bolt of lightning split the sky followed by a clap of thunder. The boy, startled fell back unsure and worried. “I’m sorry!” she followed up immediately… She quickly learned the boy didn’t speak.
Although she did all of the talking, the two became quick friends. Every were the weird little girl went, you were sure to find the boy that didn’t speak. They could tell, between each other, that there was an unseen force connecting them somehow. The towns people hissed and gawked at the two. They discussed how inappropriate it was and how the two should be split up. This however did nothing to keep them apart. One day the weird little girl had a dream she could fly. Convinced that the dream was more of a prophecy she climbed up the town water tower. Although he tried, the boy who didn’t speak was powerless to stop her. He pulled at her to try and stop her, he stood in front of her, but she was determined.
At the top of the tower the weird little girl felt the wind on her face and closed her eyes. The sun in the sky shone brighter than it ever had while the low hanging clouds ushered in a cool breeze. She could see the entire rolling country side and the birds drifting along the current. She looked down at the boy who was violently waiving his arms in anxious panic. She just smiled reassuringly as she stepped out, and fell to the earth. As soon as she hit the ground the day turned to night. The cool breeze transformed into a haunted howl and rain drops began to fall like tears. The boy ran to her side. She reached up and touched his face. He smiled reassuringly as he whispered “I love you” in the ear of the weird little girl as she was taken from his life forever.
