Patrick Flo

"Quick! Get up!"

Being woken up in the morning not by an alarm clock but by a beautiful girl from the neighborhood is perhaps the best memory of my life.

Patrick opened his eyes and stared straight at the girl standing by the bed. Today she wore a frilled skirt and high boots, with a white background and sky blue stripes, which would have been strange if it weren't for a thin pink coat over it.

Oh, and don't forget that yellow hair, it's weirdly pretty.

"It's the first day of college, so you can't be late, Patrick!"

Patrick scratched his head, they had been in school together since kindergarten. Until college, he still couldn't get rid of Audrey. By the way, it was clear that Patrick could go to school for the night yesterday, but Audrey asked him to go home so that we could go to school together today.

"Yes...... Yes," Patrick got up and went to wash.

"Patrick, Audrey, breakfast is ready!" he heard his mother shout from the kitchen.

Really, not only did she casually let Audrey in, but she also made her breakfast...... What is the relationship between him and Audrey?

After washing up in inexplicable anger and depression, Patrick walked out of the dining room, and Audrey was already sitting at the table eating the food on the plate. The TV in the living room was on, and the morning news was playing on it.

"At eight o'clock last night, there was a large explosion in Union Square, a batch of military explosives was piled up in the center of the square, and it was detonated, but fortunately, there were no casualties in this accident. The perpetrator is currently the most wanted criminal in the world, "crazy", and the suspect is absconding ......"

"Is there trouble again......" Patrick muttered.

"Really, can't he poke the basket less?" Audrey seemed angry, "we're his friends, and he's going to hurt us by doing this!"

Patrick didn't speak, he didn't resent madness and his madness. Befriending the craziest and most talented criminal in the history of crime is not something that everyone can meet. What's more, they're real friends, and madness doesn't make a hole in his head or anything.

"Well, he seems to need help," said the mother, "and if he can come to our house, I think we will help him." ”

“…… Let's go, Patrick. Audrey reluctantly squeezed out such a sentence before petrifying.

The sky was blue. Patrick looked at the sky and thought. In a big city with a lot of traffic and people, it's also a good thing to look up once in a while.

Walking into the subway, the radio on the platform played a recording of the arrival of the train. Patrick and Audrey coincidentally hopped on the subway to get to school.

"Oops, there are still many questions that we don't know the answers to......"

"What are you talking about? Patrick?"

"The teacher left me with a lot of questions," Patrick explained, "but I haven't found the answers yet." ”

"It's only the first day of school today, how is that possible!" said Audrey, smiling and patting him on the back.

Patrick also thought it was incredible, and suddenly he couldn't remember who would have left the question.

"Yes......" he said.

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Carlie Armstrong, started the first class meeting class with a cigarette in his mouth and was caught by the principal. However, the kind-hearted Principal Ramia Paters let him go, as if he hadn't seen it. Jane Stewart, a tablemate, joked with Patrick as if she had known him for a long time.

Audrey didn't make up for her classmates, she ran to the next class, and she met a very interesting teacher.

"Hey, Patrick, do you have any classes in the afternoon?" Audrey came over at lunchtime to share a table with Patrick. She knew that Patrick had always eaten by himself, oh, she didn't count.

"Nope. Patrick put a bite of tonkatsu into his mouth, "What's wrong?"

"Then what are you doing in the afternoon?

Patrick didn't answer and quietly finished his meal.

"No......," he thought for a minute, "I want to go to the wheat field." ”

"What are you doing in the wheat field...... No, where are the wheat fields in Manhattan? Do you have to drive more than an hour to the suburbs?"

Patrick nodded. If you ask him why, he doesn't know.

Boarding a minibus that was some years old, they shivered and went on the road.

"The weather is so good~" Audrey opened the window and sighed, "It's just a little hot." ”

Patrick also looked out the car window, at the endless flow of overpasses and tall buildings, at the people on the street rushing to their destinations, then into ruins crawling with creepers, homeless people staggering and scavenging, and then into overgrown puddles of water, with no animals in sight.

The bus was unhurried, and the sun shone from the afternoon to the evening. When Patrick and Audrey arrive at the wheat field, they are the only ones left in the car.

The driver was also nowhere to go, and the car was covered with ivy.

"Hmm...... It's too slow," Audrey stretched as she got out of the car, "We're going to get back later." ”

Patrick didn't say much, and plunged straight into the waist-deep wheat field.

"Now, what are you doing here?" asked Audrey, spun in circles.

"I don't know. Want. Patrick's gaze swept across the vast expanse of gold.

Audrey pursed her lips to show her displeasure with Patrick's answer, and then she spun around again and ran forward.

"Come after me, Patrick, like you did when you were a kid. She turned to him.

Patrick shrugged helplessly and began to accelerate. Unexpectedly, the girl ran as fast as she could, getting farther and farther away from him, even as hard as he could.

The wheat grew taller than he was. Patrick pushed aside the straw that was blocking his way, looked around, but couldn't see anything. He could hear Audrey walking, but he couldn't see her shadow.

Patrick simply stopped, ascertaining Audrey's direction before continuing his search. However, the trick is that Audrey is silent. Dozens of seconds passed in silence, and a rustling sound approached him.

"Oh!" Audrey and Patrick collided. The two sat on the ground covering their heads and looked at each other. After a while, Audrey burst out laughing.

Patrick looked at her smile, and the corners of his mouth curled a little.

"I was afraid you wouldn't find me, so you ran back," Audrey explained, "because I was overthinking." ”

Of course. Patrick thought to himself that if the wheat was not even up to his knees, he would be able to catch up at once.

They climbed the gentle slope and lay on the soft grass, facing the sunset, quietly basking in the sun.

"Audrey ......"

"Huh?"

"I think...... I'm having a long dream. ”

"Well, is that so?"

"Well, it's long...... It's weird...... It's confusing......"

"That's right. ”

"Well, maybe the reality is messy too. ”

"Well, really?"

"Well, I don't feel awkward here. ”

"That's ......"

Suddenly, Patrick heard a roar in his ears that broke his heart. He rolled over and found that everything in front of him was foggy.

Patrick stood up, every beat of his heart shaking his entire body. With his eyes wide open, a yellowish canine was walking towards him. He couldn't tell if it was a fox or a wolf, one eye was blue and the other was red. I have never seen such a creature, and even if I search the encyclopedias of the world, I can't find it.

The canine let out a continuous muffled whimper that plunged into Patrick's cochlea, giving him a splitting headache. Patrick shook his fist and tried to chase it away.

"Patrick, Patrick!" Audrey grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop, "Calm down!"

Patrick turned his head to look at Audrey, his pupils unable to focus, and his vision began to blur.

"It's okay, Patrick," he felt her hug him, "it's okay. She's here to pick you up, right?"

Patrick closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Countless images flashed through my mind, like a movie fast-forwarding, and I couldn't stop.

"Go back, Patrick, no matter how chaotic and cruel it may be over there," Audrey whispered, "please go back." ”

Patrick's breathing and heart rate eased.

"But I have one last request, please touch her again before I die. She must be desperate to see you again, to touch you again, and even to let you kill her and return to peace forever. ”

Patrick was speechless.

"I'm going to be really happy, really want to, just like I am now," Audrey's arm strengthened, "hugging you one last time before you leave." ”

After a long time, Audrey finally let go of Patrick. Patrick looked around and could no longer find her, his eyes could only clearly see the approaching canine.

They stared at each other for a few seconds.

Patrick held out his hand and put it on top of the canine's head.

This time the mist hugged him.
