Six Word Challenges: Sapphire & Steel
This week's six words were:
Create
Expression
Fire
Important
Pace
Surreal
AN ILLUSION
Silver watched Steel pace. His expression was, for Steel, unusual.
Steel turned to Silver. "Something is wrong. However, I do not know what."
Silver was surprised; shocked even, by Steel's words. "How do you know something is wrong?"
"Because the fire itself wasn't important. It was set to create an illusion that it mattered. But it doesn't. It can't."
It all sounded rather surreal to Silver. But he trusted Steel. He would wait.
Steel closed his eyes and put his hands on the wall. //There was no fire. It was the illusion. Now I know what I have to do.//
