Chapter 8 - Grasshoppers...

"Say Ra, that was a little disappointing " after going to the center of the city and coming back I say to Ra as we head inside

Well that is natural it's just the first day there are still two days left till the main event of it all

Sure " I Nod

Ra let's drink

Why this now Za let's sleep I'm too tierd for drinks

ZA nods his head and says "just one drink"

Thinking for a bit Ra agrees and they get inside

I'm going to get the drinks just want for a moment

Noding in at his left were the fridge is Ra goes to the living room and sitts on the couch

"Let's close my eyes for a little wiel just 5 seconds it won't be bad " As Ra's lower body met the firm, yet supporting seat and his back the soft heat of the couch a sudden fealing came over him his body lost strength eyes refused to open, Ra sleeped in less than a minute

"Hey Ra !!! I forgot to ask do you want a caned one or a glass one." Entering the living room Zaza asks Ra about his preference in beer "does he want the one in a cane or the one in a glass bottle " is what Zaza was thinking as he saw both of them so went to ask witch one he preferd only to find Ra unmoving and unresponsive like a fish out of water after some time

"Ra!!" He called out feeling anxious for some reason

Going closer Zaza puts his ear close to Ra's mouth trying to hear if he was breathing or not

"Haa" Zaza let's a breath of relief suddenly he realizes some thing

"Why am i so worried?" Zaza questions himself it never has been like before it only started this only this morning

"Well maby because i sleep late and woke erly"After thinking for a bit and not finding anything that could make him uneasy Zaza contributes this tension he is feeling to the lack of sleep and long day out in town

"Let's sleep" Zaza diced once he gets some sleep this paranoia he is feeling will natural dissappear

"But befor that" at the corner of his eye Ra was sleeping

"Here you go nice and cozy" after going up and down to bring a blanket and pillow for Ra zaza says as he pats his hands with a smile happy from looking at that sleeping face of Ra "you look so peacefully"he added on the side "that's good, because is no way I will be able to carry you till your bed"zaza shows a painful look on his face as he touches the side of his back "my back hurts every time I think about it"

"Never mind that lets get to bed " removeing the hand from the side of the back Zaza shakes his head to remove these distracting thoughts "much better " stoping the head shaking zaza turns and walked tworders the living rooms door opening that door zaza walks out of it, leaving the living room

"easy now " before making a turn to the left were the stairs were at ,Zaza slowly close the door as to not wake up Ra that is very tired and much in sleep

*click* after closing the successful closing the door without making any noise zaza turns walking tworders the stairs that are close by

*Click* opening the door zaza sees his room very light, yellow walls a bed , a table, a drawer and a old couch at the corner closest to a even more old looking tv looking at his room for a sec Zaza walks to the opposite corner where the TV and couch were, laying his body on the soft mattress *Sigh*.

all of this was done in darkness Zaza has spent years living in this house if he didn't even know were was what and what was were in his room that would embarrassing for him.

*Sigh* moving his hand from the soft bed sheets to his head Zaza looks at the ceiling which he couldn't see he takes a deep breath and let's out a sigh

Closing his eyes he focus on his ears listening for any kind of sound and he does hear a coarse tone coming outside made by insects

"Grasshoppers"

Each species has its own call to attract mates, just as birds do. Usually, only males take to music, attracting females with their calls. They mate, and the female lays eggs. Tiny nymphs hatch from the eggs the following spring. By late summer, the nymphs have grown through about five molts to become adults with a song.

this song of theirs is made by rubbing a series of small spines on its hind leg across a scraper on its wing, like sliding a thumbnail along the teeth of a comb .

Listing to it Zaza gradually falles to sleep.

It is night and the streets are covered in darkness the only source of light is the moonlight ,the lamps and windows of houses awake.
