Forgotten Memories

Winters in the northern town of Kelwich were not meant for the faint of heart. The wind billowed down from the mountain pass and snuck under the skin of any unsuspecting victim in their home, even in what was supposed to be a warmer month of March.
The snow was supposed to be gone by now, the sickness was supposed to have moved on. But despite all odds, they persisted, carried on even as the pleas of the village were swept up in the wind.

“Come on boy! We don’t have much daylight left,” A hoarse voice yelled out past the whistling winds, the sound of the houses nearby creaking with the cold as if they were ready to collapse from frostbite. And there, stood in what usually was the main road of the village- were a sick man and his shivering child ankle deep in the frozen tundra beneath them.

The man’s hair was thinning as he spoke, the bronze locks tucked underneath a woolen hat that strapped beneath his chin, tired grayish eyes pleading the younger boy to come along with him, his arms nearly ready to give out with the weight that he carried on his back.

The boy’s eyes mimicked both the color and fear the man bared, his arms tucked around his chest as a shiver racked through his body. He wasn’t built for this, his mind more numb than his knocking knees as he took sluggish steps forward, nodding as he picked up the shovel that laid against the side of the house, frost forming over the warm earth that still encrusted the blade from frequent use.

First it was the seamstress, then the butcher, multiple children Arthur knew only by last name, the families that cared for them and then.. then the sickness came for the Delacroix's. His brother was first to fall ill, then his baby sister.

Arthur himself had caught the sickness, and yet somehow came out of it alive. His family praised whatever god they could with the miracle, keeping the boy in a separate part of the house like some animal, all in hopes he wouldn’t catch the curse again. By that point it had been weeks since the decision, and now they were in tow to bury the only teacher the village ever knew. His mother.

And so he and his father continued down the beaten path with no thought to ever return to the empty house they now came from, the warmth of the fire hollowed with their family stuck under the frozen soil. Now Arthur Delacroix was to prove that he was not faint of heart, even if it meant he would bleed while doing so.
