Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Taking a deep breath, I look to the right before my eyes travel to the left.
Fuck its dark in here.
I close my eyes and try to focus on the sounds I hear. They're faint and low, very low, almost as if someone is whispering.
When I open my eyes again, I can see beyond the dark. I can, albeit not very clearly, make out the stone walls at the end of the corridor in which I'm standing.
In the distance I can see a soft flickering light, closing my eyes for a second I take another deep breath and when I open my eyes again, I can see that the flickering light was in fact not one, but two fire flies.
My eyes zero in on their wings, and I see them flutter. I can also clearly make out the red on the sides of their little heads and the yellowish that frames their wings. As if sensing danger, they quickly fly away over the high wall and disappear into the night.
A sigh escapes me, and I focus back on the sounds I heard before.
A woman.
A woman?
Yes. A woman… and a man.
Slowly, so very slowly, and as quietly as I possibly can, I take a few steps toward the sound.
I imagine myself floating silently in the dark. Merging with the shadows that lurk beyond the darkest of dark.
Invisible to the naked eye.
The sounds grow louder and louder with each step I take, and before long I am certain that I do indeed hear a woman and a man.
So I stop and listen.
"No one will ever find out." The woman said.
"You don't know that." The man replied, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"No, No one will ever find out, because no one ever comes here."
"We're here." He accused.
"I know that, but hell... you want it just as much as I do, so I see no reason why we're still talking when we could be doing it."
"Fine, but if we get caught… I will not be held responsible." The man finally said.
There is a soft click and then… silence.
My brows furrow as I tilt my head first left and then right.
Nothing but silence.
Thank you for reading.
