The evening is quiet as usual with people relaxing in their homes after a tiring day at work. The street lights are properly lit, illuminating the streets, making sure to capture everything that passes under it. A sharp and determined footstep kept breaking the silence as the person walked towards a particular building in the neighbourhood. As if announcing his presence, and at the same time, not wanting to reveal the owner, the lights kept flickering until he disappeared into one of the apartments.
The man turned on the lights in his apartment, looking around the living room as if searching for something before his eyes fell on the black and white pigeon sitting comfortably on his couch.
"look who decided to grace me with his presence" said the pigeon
"Now get your dirty ass off my couch before I snap your little neck" The man threatened the pigeon with an eerie smile and the pigeon immediately morphed into a good looking young man in his night clothes
"I know you didn't mean that brother-"
"Why did you morph then, you should have waited a little longer"
"You are a mean man and you can't keep threatening me like that."
"Now that's the most sensible thing you have ever said.....I should really start being a man of my words"
"I didn't mean it that way"
"so?- That's by the way, did you get anything interesting? Did he write to me?"
"Oh yes he did, but before I hand it over, I am famished.....Did you buy anything for me? Chocolates, ice-cream, pizza-" The younger boy looked at him with hopeful eyes
"Why would I buy anything for you when you went out today? Didn't you hunt for something while you were out there?"
"No, but-"
"Shush, I brought this back" Ocean tossed a black cellophane bag at the younger man who caught it with a huge smile as if he already knew what was inside the bag. "Stone, my package" Ocean had his palm set out in front of him, waiting for the letter
"oh I placed it on your reading table" Ocean glared at the young man for playing him. "Did Mrs Alice ask after me?" asked the young man Stone, oblivious to the glare
"yeah, she said I should make sure to bring you next time"
"sure" Stone obliged with a smile
"The blood should still be warm. I got it when I was leaving to keep it fresh for you."
"it is still warm. Thanks for your overwhelming love and kindness"
"Remind me not to bring you food again" Ocean stood, and started heading towards his room.
"That I will...never do, thanks." Stone walked towards the kitchen to have his blood meal.
When Ocean got to his room, he didn't put on the light but instead walked across the room to where his reading table is positioned. Reaching there, he fished for the matchbox he usually carries around with him to light the candle stand fixed on his reading table. When the light from the candle illuminated his room, he walked round the so he can sit and look at the contents of the letter his father had sent him. opening the parchment that looked plain at first before the inks started to appear, he started to read,
'My dearest son Ocean,
I know you are faring well according to what Stone told me and my spirit is happy to know that. He also mentioned how you have been having your share of women while waiting on your beloved.'
Ocean paused for a while and gritted his teeth as he thought of what good punishment to give Stone for giving such information to his father. After a few seconds he continued to read,
