Streamers of color arc into the sky. Explosions burst into blooms of multi-hued stars.

Two boys dance and laugh in the field below. The little one hugs his taller brother.

Where did these two go? What happened to the dreams of children?

The years stream by. The laughter dies.

Solemn duty crushes their hopes. Destiny lays heavy on their shoulders.

Pain and remembrance draw the lines on their faces. The strength of that brother bond is tested again and again and finally snaps.

Rebuilding that trust is a matter of dry wall and plaster. Concealing the cracks, repairing their bond.
