Description: On the fifth night they met she took him by the hand and led him down the steep slope to the bottom of the crater. They spent hours, wandering in the still night, pretending the town still stood around them.

Come Back Soon
They fucked next to the sign that read “Welcome to Sunnydale”, car parked on the very edge of the dusty crater. They lay pressed close together on the back seat, bodies moving together, mouths meeting in a kiss. Their desperate touches forging the gap of five years, back to a time when they were still needed here.
They’ve met like this every month for three years now, ever since he returned and became flesh and bone once more. She picked the date and he turned up, without fail, in the same battered leather and cigarette filled Mustang.
On the fifth night they met she took him by the hand and led him down the steep slope to the bottom of the crater. They spent hours, wandering in the still night, pretending the town still stood around them. They had sat in her bedroom, danced at the Bronze and kissed over the mouth of Hell. As the night darkened and the kiss deepened the two drifted off to how life used to be.
These moments are the reason they return, to the place where they belong, where they can forget the world outside that has no time for heroes. And whenever he passes the sign that reads “Come back soon”, he can only laugh.
It’s not like they have any choice.
