Shadows That Corrupt

by Chrystalline Tears

Sometimes people can't see who they really are because they've hidden what they don't like about themselves in them. But what happens when light shines into the corners and let's you see who you really are? 100 word drabble. Slight Drarry insinuation.

Author's notes: So, I find that I love these drabbles, I always thought 100 words would be hard, and it is frustrating to go over and have to cut from the original, but that would be part of the challenge. I wouldn't call these plots stories, I guess that's why Drabble is suitable. They are more poetic to me. It's not exactly Drarry, but it does represent a closeness that Draco would be able to find such a, morbid, note.

Challenge: Make a 100 word drabble with the word Shadows.

Word Count: 100 :D

Shadows That Corrupt

"No matter what I want to believe, shadows twist and coil in intricate patterns about my heart. Wisps of light dance just out of reach. There is a darkness within that no one can see without my own eyes. I'm connected so deeply with evil that it is unlikely that I can be the candle that does not waver at the slightest of breathes. There is a hiss riding the wind, calling to me to pay my price."

Draco frowned at the words written in Harry's scrawl, surely he did not go to face Voldemort alone. The war has dawned.
