Still Up There
1 min illustrated story · A little help remembering 月
After dinner, Alex and Lin took the long way home beside the canal. A bright moon hung above the roofs.
Alex noticed it between two chimneys, then again over the next building.
“It seems to be coming with us,” he said.
They crossed a small bridge and turned along the opposite bank. Alex looked up. The moon was still there.
He slowed down. Lin slowed down too.
“Checking something?” she asked.
“Whether we’ve acquired a walking companion.”
Lin looked up with him. “月. Yuè. Moon. 月亮 is the word you’ll usually hear.”
“Yuèliang,” Alex repeated.
A cyclist rang a bell behind them. They stepped aside, leaving plenty of room.
Their companion in the sky required less space.
At their street, Alex stopped once more and looked above the rooftops.
“Still with us.”
Lin pointed toward his building. “Are you inviting it in?”
“Only if it can help with the washing up.”
They went inside. He had left the dishes soaking.
