Firefly Glen i wanna love somebody

maybe if sarah would have been with him, he'd not gotten so lost in the stars. her safety worried him, and though he had moved forward without her, and he did trust that she could take care of herself... he was still worried. he stared into the sky and eyed each constellation his mother had shown him, trying to gather some confidence that sarah was one the other side of one of those stars, staring back at him. truthfully, he worried more for his mother than sarah... she'd been so sick when they first headed out, and though both of his parents were healthy, they were old. he worried he'd go home one day and they'd both just be... gone.

his anxieties-- what few the boy had-- consumed his thoughts as he stared into the night sky. it was the only place he allowed himself to worry. but, he was so focused, he didn't notice the shadow that crept up upon him.
