It seems like ages since I wrote a drabble... This is for the
open_on_sunday prompt "Leap".
Death Is Her Gift
Merrick's face looms up before her, bluff and officious,
as he speaks the words that will change her life forever...
...then his eyes spring
open wide
as Lothos bites into his neck...
...eyes which fade into the
confused, accusing, helpless look
Angel gave her as she
thrust him into Hell...
...the sword in her hand becoming a
knife as she plunged it into Faith's stomach...
...rushing over to gaze down at
her mother's cold, lifeless face...
...that fades into her
sister's frantic tear-stained cheeks...
...As she said her
last farewell
and turned...
...Ran to the
end
and...
...leapt
into
nothingness.
