The Skies Sing Their Lament
#100StoryChallenge — No2
Another soul passed through the angel’s fingertips. She felt the bright flare of life for one instant before it sputtered out.
Her hand trembled as if she had been burned.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered as the glow began to fade, dissipating like smoke on the wind.
She remembered the image of a man kneeling and pleading while tears spilled from his eyes.
But it had been pointless.
The flood eventually came for him, just as it did with his shack of a home easily buckling under the power of one storm too strong.
Humans.
They were too easy to forget.
