Drabble One of Fifty: Imagination

"Forget Me Not"

Aoki Lapis, Len

Most people found it worrisome that, at fourteen, he still had an imaginary friend. He didn't have one, because she was real. Others just couldn't see her.

But twenty years had passed since then, and he too could no longer take witness to her presence. Convinced that she was, in fact, a figment. But she still visited him anyway, because that's what friends are for. She never forgot. But her life was fading by the hour, along with the number of visits. That was not imagined.

She sang her last words to him.

He heard, he understood, but didn't believe.

AN: I know people often forget that drabble means a story that is one hundred words long, exactly, so before you send that review calling me out on how "short" or "stupid" this story was, I would just like to draw your attention to this fact. Drabbles have always been difficult for me, so please bear with me as I divulge fully into this format. Anyway, I'm shocked that we don't have Aoki Lapis down in the character list, so I'm going to add her soon. Picture credit goes to ymkw.
