Laughter

Leonel had no choice in the matter, he could only take evasive maneuvers… 

Escape. 

Laughter rang out toward his back but he scurried away on a beam of light.

His useless accomplice, Joel, still clung onto him for dear life, so he had to do the only thing he could and get rid of dead weight. Joel finally woke up when he hit the ground, looking around in confusion to figure out what was going on, a chorus of laughter becoming his only backdrop. 

As for Leonel, he had already vanished into the distance and down the mountain. 

"Fuck you guys!"

Those words echoed from Leonel, but that only made them all laugh harder. 

**

A laughter rang out in the middle of nowhere. Leonel laughed harder than he had in a long time, his eyes finally finding the tears it needed. 

He wiped them away with a forearm, but the smile on his face didn't seem to have any intention of fading.
