Little Lost Soul

Sky felt frozen in time. She was a moment captured in eternity. She opened her eyes. Above her the Milkyway scattered the darkness of the night with the pinpoint bright light of billions of stars. It was the hour before dawn and the Lyrid sent her meteors in a dazzling tangent across the cosmos.

"How beautiful" thought Sky, "Am I in Dreamtime?

'Dreamtime? ...perhaps.' said a voice close to Sky's ear.

Surprised, Sky turned her head to asertain the identity of the speaker. On a rock slightly above her head sat a youth, probably not much older than she. His look was solemn but he regarded Sky kindly as he held out his hand towards her.

'Sky', he said, ' my name is Leon. I am here to help you with your journey. You may not remember me just yet but we are very old friends'.

'What has happened?' said Sky puzzled.

Leon gave a gentle smile, 'Sky you know what has happened...what you have done, but I am here to help you leave this place.'

'Leave this place...?' Sky repeated and at that she glanced to the right of where she was now standing. Amid the dark jutting of rocks lay what looked like a blood splattered manikin, a blond head just visible under the foam of crashing spray.

'Oh', gasped Sky and she began to cry. And as she cried her sobs grew louder and louder until she screamed out the anger and anguish she had felt for all the years of her young tragic life. At last her crys subsided but still she was wracked with pain and sorrow and her breath when she spoke came in great sobbing gasps.

'I am sorry for what I have done', Sky said, her face streaked with a river of tears.

Leon sat beside her. 'You have cried for some time now', he said, 'It is time to begin your journey...'

Then, it seemed in her mind, Sky was back on the ferry. It was late at night and the upper deck was deserted except for a small huddled figure seated on a wooden bench.. In the young girls arms was a small whimpering bundle just a few hours old, still bloody and streaked in white vernix and  wrapped in a soft pink polyester jumper. It was a chillingly cold night and at least ten hours before the Aberdeen to Lerwick ferry  was due to dock. Sky rocked the baby back and forth in a gentle rhythmic motion, ' Hush little baby, don't you cry...,' she sang gently in a hushed whisper.

'My beautiful, beautiful baby.' she said. 'You are so sweet..so perfect, and I love you so very much'. Sky stroked the soft skin of the babies cheek then kissed her tenderly on the forehead.

'I'm going to look after you...I will,... I promise', Sky said, smiling tenderly while her heart broke in pieces under the enormity of her love for this precious, vulnerable little creature in her arms.

'Hush, hush...don't you cry, ' Sky sang softly as she rose from the wooden bench and walked slowly towards the ship's metal railings. She rested her belly against the cold metal for a few minutes still holding her percious bundle tight. Closing her eyes she gave the baby one last lingering kiss then in one movement threw her over into the cold dark seas below.
