Kiss the darkness

From Create Your Own Story

You let the dark thing press itself against your lips. Then you open your mouth and shine the light into it. The dark thing lets out a cry that mingles the bliss of a lover's kiss with the pain of death, and then it comes apart. It could not live with its loneliness, but it also could not live with the light you need to survive.

The death of the dark thing returns you to Earth. You take the earring out of your mouth.

"Good job," Crystal says. "I'll make sure all these things we used get back where they belong."

You feel a moment's sadness for the dark thing, but you can't sustain it. The Florida sun shining down on you feels too good.

You cannot help but smile.

The End.
