Drabble: Pilgrim (Memory, Tsuzuki, YnM)
Pilgrim
A Yami no Matsuei Drabble
By Dorian Gray
AN: Memory challenge. Written November, 2004.
He cannot remember.
But there are moments when he knows: that his hands are charnel-houses, that his heart is twisted out of carrion; that on starless nights a monster comes and waits outside his window while within he dreams of seeing something, safe and warm, beyond a sheet of glass and in those dreams he knows. He wakes and all that's left is a chill like the night wind in his lungs and the faint image of a feast locked up like the bones of a saint in little glass boxes -- rotting, rotting...
He falls asleep again.
He cannot remember.
