Saturn Hope-Less

    Not another single soul stirs along the streets Saturn travels while the sun still sits hidden before its full rise. When first awakening from the pains of the past found in his sleep Saturn was certain he missed the moment, but luckily it was only the earliest beams which had breached his room's window. A rare slightly smile spurs across Saturn's face as his pace picks up when his perfect place comes into view. A hill secluded from the city he lived in and where the sunset and rise could be seen with crystal clarity, a perfect escape from the eternal damnation of his sadness' shackles. 

    Upon the precipice of the ascension Saturn sets up his single aisle and prepares to paint the sky which will crown the city in certain breathtaking colors. A sense of calm blossoms into fruition as the first brilliant beams of day break across the sky's spectrum. Saturn's brush falls against the canvas.

Jolly Roger

Waking up incredibly early is my favorite thing to do. My heart is fully awake and the morning beauty of our district makes me feel alive. I like walking around eight with no purpose whatsoever and watching the awakening of nature. I leave the house quietly, close the door and run towards the light that is rising over the rooftops.  

Finally, I reach a hill on the outskirts of the district. I've never been here before, so it is exciting to explore the unknown lands. With my eyes shut I turn my face towards the hill and a beautiful image appears in front of me. I am standing on a huge ship, surrounded by my faithful friends. The sails are glowing bright red in the morning sun. And a victorious voice calls from the mast:

"LAND!"

A tall broad-shouldered man comes up to me. It's the captain's mate. I can't quite picture his face yet, but I am sure it is rather handsome.

"Congratulations, captain. You reached the island we were searching for."

A wave of excitement fills my heart as I open my eyes and run up the hill. To my surprise, somebody is sitting there already. I should probably be friendly and greet him.

"Good morning!"

Saturn Hope-Less

    Blonde beams in the brilliance of the rising sun as an unfamiliar girl appears upon the sweet seclusion of the hill. Saturn stares for several seconds trying to determine whether being polite or whether leaving is the correct call. His jaw tightens while his teeth grind against one another momentarily. Social interactions weren't exactly his forte or his favorite thing to partake in. However, if he wants to be able to continue his painting he is well aware conversation cannot be avoided.

    Angling still towards the rising radius he begins to send stunning streaks of color curling and dynamically dancing across his canvas. He knows he can at least multitask as he talks with this unusually bubbly stranger. Saturn attempts a small smile as he begins to finally respond after several agonizingly long seconds of silence.

    "Morning. How are you?"

Jolly Roger.

The boy greets me in a friendly way. It looks like he is the only inhabitant of this island. Maybe he was stranded here after his ship sank. Maybe we can colonize this island together. We can be friends forever!!! However, despite his friendliness, the stranger seems rather busy. I hope I am not interrupting anything important. Anyway, getting to know him better is worth a try.

"Great, thank you. And how are you?"

Something isn't right about what I said. What was it? I frantically try to put the pieces of my memory together. That's it! I forgot to introduce myself and that's rude.

"I am Jolly, by the way. Jolly Roger. And what's your name?"

I manage the widest smile in my arsenal. He has to see how much I want to explore this place together with him. He has to notice that I am radiating friendliness. It would be a big disappointment if I missed such a wonderful opportunity to become friends with somebody who also likes waking up before sunrise.
