An old man, a boy and a sky

An old man, a boy and a sky…

The old man and the boy were resting on the soft grass and looking up.  It was a cool evening, crickets singing, bugs buzzing, and from time to time a firefly was passing by. There was no light for miles and the Milky Way was contrasting so beautifully as you can never observe it in the big city with all these lights. Thousands of stars were blinking and shimmering above them, and the little Joro asked:

- Grandpa Mitko, I wonder – what’s up there? 

- Stars… what else? – said the old man laughing, but then continued seriously – There above us is everything! There is the future of man...

- The future of man?

- Yes… the future… You didn’t think people will always live only on Earth, did you? The stars are calling us, and we are just too curious to stay in our warm homes and not answer their call. There was this saying…hmmm… something like – “when the child is grown, it leaves the cradle”. For mankind Earth is this cradle!

Something crinkled close to where they were and the boy boggled but then continued: 

- And we will travel with spaceships, right? Like in Star Trek?

- I suppose so, but this will be in many years, right now no one invests enough money in science and such ships can’t be made soon…

- Grandpa, I wonder if somewhere up there some other grandpa and his grandson are looking at us?

-Haha – smiled the gray man – I’m sure they watch us from many places! I believe it’s teeming with life up there and we are not alone… hmm… It’s getting late already… come on, suck my dick a bit my boy!

Several minutes passed, the grandpa ejaculated with whimper.

-Let’s go, you will freeze – the grass is getting dewy...

-Grandpa Mitko, can’t we stay for five more minutes –sobbed the boy.

-But of course we can!
