And Loss

And Loss

I’ve got her right where I want her.

God, she’s such a wimp. Heh.

Look at her struggle to remain composed, to convince me she’s not scared.

Look at her weakness. It’s pitiful.

I can almost imagine her thoughts. She’s probably thinking of...

Of Celeste.

God effing dammit, she’s thinking of that stupid queen.

She probably thinks her ‘love’ will give her strength.

How stupid is she? I mean, really?

Well, Twila Sparks, I’ve got something behind me that’s way stronger than your love.

Loss.

I’ve never had anything going for me. I have no memories of the crackheads one would call parents, no happy days of childhood innocence.

Nothing but cold and dark and pain and loneliness and loss.

I haven’t known the luxuries she has. I haven’t received the love and nurturing she has from her mentor. Mine showed me how the world really is. Mine may’ve shown me pain, but she showed me the truth.

I think I’m stronger than her for it.

So that’s why I’m here.

That’s why I’m here.

And she knows it.

Watching her squirm, God does she know it.

Timebis nocte, Twila.

Timebis nocte.

Still no reveiws?

I gotta fix that.

Good story. A little different than most, and that's probably why the reveiws are so few. Don't get discouraged by that. It's a little out there, and thus only the real readers will give it more than a glance. But it is good, a good concept. It might help to have an intermission or something that helps lend a little more conventional context. As it is, it's more like a freeform poem than a story.

But whatever you do, I will continue to enjoy reading.

I look forward to more.

Thank you! I guess that's what happens when a small author takes a huge, unexpected hiatus. I do plan to have an intermission of sorts after all the chapters that are currently in the description are used up.
