Mice on Venus

Summary:

Written while listening to Mice on Venus by C148. The bit after the fake ending, the descending chimes, it made me think about pickign a direction and running, cutting between mobs and villagers and people watching you run past wonder after wonder.

Notes:

The thing said you could gift it in honor of someone, but the person I'm writing these about shares a name with someone on this site...awkward...

Work Text:

A new world
You've done this before
Boxy little shack
Made with love

The world is large
and scary too
You're willing to face it, but...

You can wander forever
Pick a direction and run
dig mountains, climb ravines
You can run till your feet fall off

And you'll see so much
quaint villages, eccentric peoples
changing colors in the wall beneath your feet
Myriad mysteries rush past

And as all of this wonder passes you by
The tears will well up like the rains in the forest
and you'll see that boxy little shack
you'll burst in, crying tears and the name
and you'll be alone

He will be gone
You knew he wouldn't be here
It's just you
A lonely god of will
With nowhere to run

an unstoppable force
with nowhere to go
