There Were Words

Post by The Last »

There were words.

They whispered their way through the night like the rustle of cloth or muffled footsteps. They lurked in the corner of the mind, on the edge of hope. They passed between the few who knew their meaning, who felt the call like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.

There were words, and in their shade were dozens of meanings. They struck each listener differently, but fiercely.

Boots paced the stone floor, rolling those words over and over with each step. The Last had been quiet lately, living other words, and other lives, but the path always led back here to the stone, the night, and the words.

“Just because Deori takes it doesn’t mean I give it back.”

The words and the boots made a rhythm. The pacing stopped. The Last smiled.
