The shadows always collected around me at night as if they sought to embrace me. Outside my bedroom window, a tree’s branches stood out in relief as if they were crooked fingers trying to catch at the strands of souls.
It was always like this when I waited for him between the spark and the burn.
“Why don’t you try to find someone else?” my sister, a fellow witch, asked me. “There’s no future with someone like that.”
But I just smiled. “Where would be the fun in someone ordinary?”
She shook her head. “You’re mad.”
“Better mad than bored.”
