I looked down at the people below me from where I live people looked like ants,but I know that is far from true my parents told me I would always be safe up here up in the clouds away from the world beneath my feet.

Each step I take on this big rock high above the sky with a roof over my head to protect me from the sun, I began to wonder what is it like down there, is it different from up here? What would it look like? Are there aliens or things I never knew were beneath? Question upon question started to fill my curious brain has my parents ever lied to me? What if there isn’t any danger from below? Would I run and flee for what I may find?

Day by day weeks turned into months,sleepless nights of thinking how it would be like living from below, then it turned into years of wonder .

I feel like if I were to ask my parents of what it was like down below but everytime I ask they give me the same answer “below where your feet stand is a dangerous place to be so promise me to stay up here when we are gone” that was the last Thing both my parents said before disappearing in the middle of the night.

I’ve wanted to keep my parents wishes because hey a promise is a promise I must keep but I’ve always wanted to try to find my parents but I’m always scared to seek for what is beneath me and plus I’m too high up to reach the ground unless I have equipment to help me which is another thing my parents taught me to use although I never practice because my parents don’t want me to go down onto earth and it was in case of emergency like something miraculously came up here and tried to harm me and my parents.

Today is the day long days and long nights couldn’t help my curious mind my urge grew by each day making up stories in my mind and even question my existence people below me I see moving like particles just below me,so I grabbed the climbing gear and my bag and I set forth to train along the walls of this giant rock to help for when I’m ready to set forth my adventure to find my parents.

Yet again day by day night by night my skills have gotten better by the day I grabbed my things took my climbing axe and harness and knife boots to set down this giant rock.

Lower and lower I got I feel like my chest is getting looser and breathing light as a feather slowly lowering myself down and touching the very bottom of what I never knew I would be able to land my feet upon.

Ground as green can be light and to the touch a soft but kinda harsh kiss from the bright sun above me and a mysterious looking building out in the midst of the green substance .

My parents are probably waiting for me somewhere on this earth they shouldn’t have gone to far.

This building comes to look familiar like I’ve seen it before.

I ran to the mysterious building to see what it is the building had an opening in the front so I just walked in, a big room with a living room and a kitchen almost to what I had in the home up above.

A noise has came upon me I turned around seeing these two people a man and a woman.

“ hey there are you lost kid?”

I speak to the stranger nervous “ uh… no sir I just want to find my parents”

“Do you know there names kid I can help you look for them”

“I don’t know there names sir” I spoke as I clenched onto the bottom of my shirt

“How do you not know where your parents live”

The thing is my parents never told me their names I just call them mom and dad I knew that they had a name other than that because that’s what they taught me to call them and then they named me Allen.

Silence grew in the room as me and the man just silently looked at each other.

“ ok then,point from which you came from” the man said concerted for my wellbeing.

I pointed up at the big rock I came down from

“Wow how did you managed to get down here”

I pointed far at where I dropped my gear off because it was getting too heavy to carry it up to this point

“ hey is that you my dear boy Alex”

At first I didn’t know who he a was or how he even know my name

“ do I know you sir” I looked at the man puzzled

“ I am your father,boy it’s been years since I seen you”

“My,my father”

“Yes my dear boy”

“But why are you down here and where have you been all these years you left me and our home” how could you” I wimpered softly

“ I had to leave you so you can try surviving on your own my parents didn’t teach me how to survive like how we taught you and plus you know we won’t be around much longer dear boy it was so you know how to live on your own”

“Live on my own?!? I had sleepless nights alone in that very cave wondering what it was like to live down below and wondering if ever you guys would come back but never did”

“Sorry son but you disobeyed my rule me and your mother wanted you to wait one more year so we know you would actually listen to us so you know how to navigate around here”

“Ok dad I forgive you” me and my father embraced tightly to each other I never really knew this moment will come mother I found out later was soon gone but at least I still have time with the person I cherish the most in my family.
