Star-crossed.

It sounds nice, doesn’t it?

The universe has blessed you with your perfect other half — bound to love you, doomed to die for the sake of that love.

Tied into the fabric of all our stories is the yearning for this one great romance.

But I didn’t want it. I couldn’t want it.

I wouldn’t send someone to the gallows just because I was lonely.

Love — whatever it was — was the ghost I would ignore at every turn.

Or at least I thought I could.

Until I saw him on a moonlit night.

He was covered in blood.

This is a part of my endeavor to go back to writing tighter fiction with more stringent word counts. It’s just one attempt at the 100 Story Challenge because I thought it would be a good exercise to do to keep my imagination sharp. We’ll see how it goes.
