Death, and his lover.

Death, and his lover.

The obsession began, like the embers that give birth to a forest fire.

Every moment was consumed by a rouge attempt to fill the empty urn in her chest.

At times she requested death, yet he never seemed to come. The least he could do is send his ghostwriter, or hurst driver she thought jestingly. But death had better things to do.

By a candlelit alter he scanned the black water before him, patiently awaiting the cloudiness to become something he could perceive.
