Prompt #1: Lullaby
(CW: death and grief)
(CW: death and grief)
She first hears it as a small child, from her mother’s lips.
She is frightened by the howling wind outside, her cheeks damp with tears. And as her mother begins to sing, the tears subside, the storm matters less, and gradually she drifts to sleep to the soft, lilting melody.
Call for Swablu song,
Let it put your fears to rest.
Listen as they sing along,
And guide your shadows from your chest.
Don’t be scared of the dark,
It cannot put out your own spark,
Don’t be scared of the wind,
Life always begins again
With the sound of Swablu song.
Now she sits in a cold and sterile hospital room, tears dampening her face once more as she softly caresses the dying Pokémon in front of her. She is powerless to ease the pain, helpless when searching for words to say, so instead, she sings.
Call for Swablu song,
I can see it in your eyes
Your soul’s been heavy for so long,
And you fear you’ll never fly.
The Pokémon’s breathing slows, her voice cracks and falters, but she carries on.
But don’t be scared of the dark,
It cannot conquer your own spark.
Don’t be scared of the end,
Life always begins again
With the sound of Swablu song…
With the sound of Swablu song.
The room is silent. The breathing has stopped. Now all that’s left is the sound of her quiet grief in the form of half-stifled sobs.
She longs for her childhood, in which storms were the only source of her fear. She longs for her mother, long gone and buried.
Above all, she longs for Swablu songs.
Call for Swablu song,
Let it put your fears to rest.
Listen, they sing along,
Guiding shadows from your chest.
Don’t be scared of the dark,
It cannot dampen your own spark,
Don’t be scared of the wind,
Life always begins again
With the sound of Swablu song.
