Broken Antler Fen Waiting on the world to change

Odie pushed closer to Uncle Seb as he spoke, seeking comfort from him.  He seemed to understand in a way from his answer, but Sebastian had never seen his Mother cannibalized.  He had never been offered a piece of his Mothers dead body at three months old.  He didn't know.  Not really.  Still she stayed next to him with a sad gaze, just staring off into the distance.

"I know..." she began in the softest whisper, "but... but sometimes I wonder what could have been.  I want to be apart of your family... but...."  She stopped as tears sprang to her eyes.  She blinked them back, but was silent for many minutes after that.  Finally though she spoke again.  "I once had a brother... his name was S-Solemn.  He was probably my favorite out of all of my siblings because of his personality and always looked out for me... I think he might have been one of the main reasons that I survived the famine.  S-Solemn would give me his shares of food... a lot during the famine.  I tried to stop him a few times, but other than that I really didn't do anything at all."  A single tear slide down her cheek.  "I think he died because of me.  I helped kill my family.  I helped break it down.  Solemn never spoke a single word."  Right afetr that Odie was sobbing... sobbing her heart out.
