Ebbs and Flows

Lemon Jon has died, causing Lemongrab 2 to come face to face with mortality for the first time in their short life. Grief and guilt stricken they begin to question what it means to create life.

"Father?" 

"Hm."

The lemon child at the foot of their bead frowned at them, wrinkling up their long nose. "What is wrong with you?" 

Lemongrab blinked and weakley raised their hand to touch their forehead, which was wet with feverish sweat. "I believe I am… ill."

"Ill?" 

The newly created lemon child hadn't heard of the concept before. Lemongrab distantly remembered how much they hadn't known once. They'd been so shocked when they fell and hurt themselves for the first time, they hadn't realized that being in their body could feel so bad. They'd wondered if their glob had made some sort of mistake, or if she'd created them to be able to feel this pain. And if so why? Why create beings to let them suffer? It was a big question for one lemon to think about. 

Their child looked at them with a mixture of curiosity and fear. They'd never seen their parent with their eyes half open, panting raspy breaths that were filling the room with the sickly smell of disease as whatever was wrong with their body leaked out of them. They seemed to understand instinctively not to come close, and stayed at the foot of the bed. 

Lemongrab coughed, "Water. Water." They rasped. "My brother…" 

The child ran out of the room and returned with the older Lemongrab. He had a cloth pressed over his mouth and nostrils, and was wearing rubber gloves. 

He pushed a thermometer in their mouth and examined their eyes. 

"Ah, I seeeee." "It is not contagious." 

"Really?" 

"Yes Yes. Yoouu have over exerted yourself and weakened your body. You are sick! Siiick but only hm, temporarilyyyyyy.” He looked at the unwanted bowl of lemon jons by their bed. “Whyyyy do you… not eat theee lemon jons?" 

"It is our son's body.” The replied weakly, “Ngh Heee dissolved the bonds uniting him. But I am still bound to my boy." 

Their brother frowned at them. "LemonJon desired that we should feast on his corpse." 

"I was his glob. Why could Iiiii not stop him dying? If I can create life-” They raised their hands and looked at their yellow palms, “-why can I not keep it?"

Their brother sat next to them on the bed and patted their forehead with slow, steady pats.

"It is for Death toooo decide these things.” he explained as gently as he could, “Only aaaa glob among globs can control theeee ebb and flow of living, yes. Yes tis not fooooor us who dwell in the valley of light to decide who shall leave us. Or indeed when." 

He picked up a lemon jon and pressed it against their lips.

They pushed his hand away. "Brother…" 

"Come. Eat." 

"No." 

Lemongrab pressed harder with a snarl but they didn’t open their mouth, even though he was hurting them. "Nnngh dearest brother if you do not eat you will grow frailer! Your body must replenish its lemonyyy essence to rebuild itself. If unreplenished you shall surely perish!”

He tried to force feed them again but they didn’t accept it, and he gave up. He sat there turning the piece of candy over and over in his hand, staring at their wall with a sad expression.  

"Brother…” they asked quietly. “What if…. What if theee reason LemonJon died is because WEEEE did something wrong?" 

"What?" 

"If we had not… invaded the kingdom he would have sacrificed himself. Weeeeeee did not give by taking… we simply took.” They closed their eyes. “He is gone." 

Their brother placed the lemon jon in their hand. "LemonJon is here, he has given himself to us and our bellies. Taken his life and given us food." 

"If we had not taken so much food… if we did not make so many children weeee could have fed them and Jon would be here.” They frowned in confusion at the thoughts crowding in their head. It was all so confusing. “But then theeee unmade children would not be here. If we fed them some would not exist, but our actions led toooo unexistence? Brother what does it mean? Are we not globs?" 

"We are creators?" He replied, unsure. 

"Creators and destroyers." They said darkly, and let the lemon jon he’d handed them fall to the floor.

"Eat." He commanded. 

"I cannot." 

"Brother…"

They opened their eyes and looked at him. They were tired and their half closed eyes had lost their usual spark. "I am unsure if I should break the bonds uniting me and join my boy… what if our actions lead to more suffering?" 

"Lemongrab. Why are you so sad?" their brother asked, unable to understand them anymore. 

"Because my son is dead." 

"He is here?” He held out a handfull of lemon jons to them. “Theeeese lemon jons are him. He gave them so we may take them intooo our bodies. They are symbols of us, of our bond with him. The one that could not be broken." 

"I cannot eat it. I am tired." 

They closed their eyes and felt their brothers hand press down on their forehead as they drifted into an uneasy sleep.

Lemongrab slept uneasily. In their dream they were in a black night that stretched on for miles, standing on the cold surface of a mirror. 

Lemonjons huge organs were scattered around them, with the fleshy veins and other tubes feeding into the floor. They approached his beating heart and stood in front of it, watching the pulsating body part spasm as it pumped lemon juice down into the ground. 

“What is this?”

Lemongrab put a hand over their chest and felt their own heart beat. Fix their hearts… Their hearts are fine they’re just like this… 

Just like what? Selfish? Different? Worse? Why was Lemonjon dead while they were still alive? Was it all the design of their creator? After all she had made them like this, if anyone had. So had they failed in creating Lemonjon? Had they created his heart capable of feeling things that made him end his life, and in doing so doomed him? 

They looked up at the organ they and their brother had constructed and couldn’t find a fault with it. 

A hole opened up under all the organs and they feel down through the glass. Lemongrab reached out to grab hold of part of Lemonjon but there was nothing to hold on to, the barrier at their feet stopped their hands. They could only watch him fall down, down, down into dark oblivion. Where did lemons go when they died? 

They opened their eyes a crack because someone was tugging at their uniform. Everything was blurry and their empty stomach that had long since caved in on itself was on fire. Before they had felt light headed from the starvation, now it just hurt. 

They wanted to speak but felt too weak to do it. “I must beee dying…” they thought to themselves, “It is my time. I have decided on death’s behalf. I truly am a glob.” 

From where they were lying on their side, they could see the same lemon child who’d come to visit them earlier that day. But there was something different about them. They squinted and realised that they had cut their nose off. 

Something sweet and sour was pushed between their lips and they swallowed painfully, feeling the lump go through them. Then another chunk was inserted, and they swallowed that too. Piece by piece their child fed them their severed nose until they felt strong enough to sit up. 

“You have sacrificed for me. You have given… are you Lemonjon?”

The lemon child shrugged. 

Lemongrab cupped their face with their hands and examined the dimple where their nose had once been. They let go and felt along their own nose for the middle part, then pulled until they snapped it in half, holding the yellow cone in their hands. 

They pushed it into the hole in their face until they felt their nose attach to them. 

“I have given and taken.” They said, “I am also Lemonjon now.” 

Their brother had left a bowl of lemon jons by their bed, and they feebly pulled it towards them. 

“This is our body.” They said, and began to eat.

IDs: a digital drawing of a two panel comic about Lemongrabs 1 and 2.  The room they are standing in has yellow peeling wallpaper, a single lightbulb, and a tiled floor. The first panel shows Lemongrab 2 wearing white pajamas, standing at a sink and yellow mirror on a blue floor towel. Lemongrab 1 is standing next to him with his back to them. He is shirtless and wearing just black pajama trousers, he is dripping wet and drying himself with a white towel. There is a faded scar on his chest. Lemongrab 1 is saying “You’re so lucky that you get to be a boy without having to do anything. I wish I could grow facial hair.” There is a smaller speech bubble that says “You’re so ungrateful.” in brackets.

The second panel is a closeup on Lemongrab 2 shaving and looking exasperated and uncomfortable. They’re saying “No you don’t. It looks awful and feels even worse.” ED.
