“There will be time enough for some things, and not enough for others. Your body is very far away from here, buried in slumber. Already, I can sense those near it working diligently to bring you back. It isn’t their fault, they can’t possibly understand… but alas, since your place in my presence will be limited, it is best for us to leave.”
The woman turned on her cane in the sand. Funnily enough, I didn’t recall her having one as she approached. “Come along, Clara.”
“Wait a moment,” I called after her. “How do you know my name?”
The kindly old woman chuckled as she began to stroll away. “Has it really been that long? Time and I were never what I’d call ‘friends.’” She smiled, shaking her head as she walked. “Still, it’s rather strange. I’d have certainly thought you might recognize your own grandmother…”
Stunned for a few seconds, I ran up and took her by the hand. “Grandma? But… I haven’t seen you since I was a toddler!”
She smiled fondly, but there was sadness in her eyes. “There is so much ahead of you, Clara. The fate of more than you can fathom is entirely dependent on what comes next. Now, it is time for an old woman to tell you things. You must be prepared for the future…”
A freezing breeze rose as we walked together. Shuddering, I folded my arms. “I’m not dressed for this. I wish it weren’t so cold here.”
“So you feel that too, then,” my grandmother noted despondently. “That’s not a good sign. I thought it might be because of all my time here. The end must be coming faster than I thought…”
“The end?”
She didn’t answer, instead choosing to stare off into the horizon. For a moment, her face filled with a deep grief.
“The black wind howls…”
