Chapter Text
It was sunny and hot, as is usual for an afternoon in Florida, and that was really the only reason Ashi's Mama even let them out for a walk to the park. His Mama is very protective, or would it be was..? Either way, it was bright and Ashi promised to text zeir Mama the second zey arrived.
They had their headphones on, listening to the Fine Print by the Stupendium on repeat, bobbing their head to the tune and mouthing the lyrics. He was wearing a red t-shirt and some black shorts, hair tied up in a half-up-do and wearing white converse platforms. Ashi was practically skipping. It was rare that he got to go out, always busy doing something else, or he was asleep, or it was too late, or it was raining; it was always something.
They paused, pulling off one headphone, and looked around. Something felt off. They didn't see anything, so reluctantly, they continued on, leaving one headphone off. Walking on a bit more warily, zey shivered, getting an odd chill. Zey turned back around, bad feeling getting worse, and started heading back.
Then it went dark.
And. They. Tripped.
