The Rusty Robot Who Plays Piano
by @seraia
The ruins is dark.
There are dead leaves floating, surrounding the ocean.
The island feels alone.
But there is a beautiful melody that can be heard inside.
There are some boats docking at the island.
They all can hear the piano keys.
But whenever they get near, the melody is gone.
It is as if the sound does not exist at all.
'Save me, save me...'
If the leaves can hear, it would hear the whispers.
If the leaves can see, they would see how rusty it became.
If the leaves can move, they would have hugged it.
Suddenly, one day, the piano stopped playing.
The ruins got darker.
Time went by, the ruins were forgotten.
No one came to dock anymore.
'I cannot move...'
'How dark can this place get?'
'Where is my piano?'
'I have to play...'
Amidst the darkness,
The leaves continued to float.
The island still felt alone.
But the beautiful melody...
