Excerpt from Darkling, The Lights Went Out and Other Stories.
“Unable to take her eyes off the stranger, Emmeline moved from tree to tree
until he seemed close enough to touch until finally as if in a dream, she stepped
out from behind the cover of the trees to face him, a bird released from a trap
with no choice but to fly towards danger.
until he seemed close enough to touch until finally as if in a dream, she stepped
out from behind the cover of the trees to face him, a bird released from a trap
with no choice but to fly towards danger.
The walker between the trees turned on his heel sensing her, he moved towards
the slight figure of the girl in the grey cloak whose wide eyes shone at his
approach. The stitching on his waistcoat glinted in the moons light as he neared.
Her eyes were drawn to a face of contradictions; ancient yet youthful.
the slight figure of the girl in the grey cloak whose wide eyes shone at his
approach. The stitching on his waistcoat glinted in the moons light as he neared.
Her eyes were drawn to a face of contradictions; ancient yet youthful.
His skin was white as the light that the moon poured down.
White as bone bleached in the sun.
Pale as the ice in the village pond in midwinter.
Pale and cold as death.”
