They got out from under the bed and walked along the second floor hallway together. The little boy opened a door and they found themselves standing in a messy bedroom which was engulfed by the light of the golden hour that flooded through the windows and that now was surrounding them.
To describe that room the whole essence of it revolved around the smell, which drained the place from the initial impression of abandonment. It was rich and sweet, but light and drifting across that golden air in such a way that it seemed alive. The little boy reached on a nightstand that was in the middle of the room, the dust that covered it glistened in the sunlight. He grabbed something that looked like a stone and brought it to the attention of the other kids. It was a heart-shaped rock, and as the boy shooked it it gave out a faint clicking sound that resembled that of the rain.
They walked out of the house and onto the beach, suddenly the little kid took the rock from his pocket, and then he chucked it in the sea, the treatement the things of loved ones deserve.
