He wandered down the street, a quiet confidence about him. He had just completed a deal that would see the world change in ways that humanity would have never survived without. Yet he would never be recognized for it. No, he had accepted his fate a long time ago, and would work from the shadows, and his contribution would remain for him to know alone.
He glanced up at the man he called 'daddy', who knew him only as this tiny being, devoid of the knowledge and ability that had just saved them all. He grinned an inner grin and closed his eyes but foe a moment, releasing the side of himself that was filled with so much importance.
When his eyes opened once more, he had no memory of the last few hours. No memory of anything but a simpler life. Of sippy cups, and backyardigans, and potty training. Of Mommy, and goodnight kisses, and stumbling down a cobblestone street, shoes dragging in that way that only the beginner walker can manage.
Childhood awaited. |
