haku app. final
Third person writing sample:
It’s snowing.

Haku blinks at the open window of his apartment, watching the heavy flakes drift past. After a long moment, he slips his feet into tattered sneakers, tugs a hat down over his freshly-blackened hair, and almost skips down the seven flights of stairs to street level. The snow is thick on the sidewalk already, without a single print before his. At least, not on this side of the street.

Smiling up at the sky, he gives no thought to where his feet are taking him as he watches the snow, amused as it catches in his eyelashes and dusts his lips. The lighting is better, suddenly, and he blinks in surprise as he realizes he’s wandered into one of the main streets, where the neon lights on every building change the snow a hundred colours. A few people rushing past give him odd looks, but he continues to grin. The snow is making little hills on top of the flashing signs, it’s filling up the cracks in the pavement where footsteps can’t melt it away. The cars driving past run their windshield wipers, a delivery boy huddles under his restaurants canopy for a moment, glaring out at the weather, before speeding away on his scooter.

He could write a story about tonight. It would be an adventure. A little boy wakes up and wanders out into the snow, and forgets his whole life. He can’t remember his parents or his friends or his home, he only has the snow and the dazzling city lights. Lost and cold, passersby offer him help. But he’s not scared. The snow is so beautiful, he tells them. Won’t you look at the snow? They’re busy, they’re rushing, they have lives and jobs and homes to return to. The boy wanders on. Wanders…

Haku stops at the edge of the road, looking up at the street signs. It will be a long walk back, he thinks. But he could make that part of the adventure, too. After all, the boy has to find his way back home…


Other Notes: + Haku is a Capricorn and blood type O.
+ He can play the guitar relatively well, having decided to teach himself in a moment of boredom during college, and often scribbles song lyrics on his notes.
+ His favourite season is winter, and he loves to go out in the snow. People who know his past find this strange, but have yet to question it.
+ He has a pet rabbit that he has named Kazahana (snowflakes; lit. wind-flowers).
