{ Thy sky was neon red against the cool air, moist from the torrentials. She appears from the corner, light of step swinging her hand against the wind's embrace. Like Helen, her smile could have begun a war. I sit, unattached from the world, like a stone. Her silhouette was focussed unlike the palette of shadows behind her. Voices around me muted away. I decided to make a move, realising if i did not, there would be no assurance of another opportunity like this. A thought flashed through my mind, wat do i say? If she replied, what could i do?
Bam! I crumble onto the cement. A ball bounces beside my aching head. I crawl onto my feet. "Boy, u alright?" "Yes.Yes." I glanced around. She was gone. A fever shot through my head less of pain but more of anguish. I dropped my body on the bed, feeling the hard springs under the sheets. I pulled my arm from behind my head, caught a familiar smell, stinging, as i faced the crimson stain on my palm. }
