The fog rolls in when we put her out to sea. She loved sailing. She loved flowers, sailing and hated socks. That's why we left her barefoot in the boat and put her out to sea.
'We' are my son and I. Her son: a part of her that won't be snuffed out by the fog coming in from the Sea of Tranquility. No diving. No swimming. Small craft only.
I light a candle. I like how it feels and light another one.
The cratered surface with its mini-malls and Ford dealerships start to light up. Every candle is a word I didn't say to her. Every flame is a moment we'll never have. Every spot of light is another breath she'll never take.
The moon shines with its own light. It's no longer a useless mirror to a distant, hurtful sun. A million candles won't be enough. Never enough.
It's time to go home. Time to go back to the home that never wanted me.
They might want to see their grandson.
They might want to see what I've become.
If you're ever on the moon, watch out for the wax. Millions of candles usually result in millions of small puddles of wax.

Mmm. Dragoncakes. But I must say that my personal preference are Grumblecakes.

Mare Tranquillitates.
Why do i know all the names of the craters (sea's and one ocean) of the moon by heart?
It must have something to do with my OCD.
