If only he never smiled at him.
-
A light brush of their fingers; nervous laughter.
His laughter's warm.
Inviting, enticing.
This has to be the piper's mesmerizingly deadly song.
It's nothing like he's ever heard before.
Eyelids lowered; breaths hitched.
Maybe, perhaps.
How many chances like these do you get in a lifetime?
One. Only one.
It's nothing like he's ever felt before.
Morals forgotten;
Don't laugh. Don't laugh again.
Everything about this is wrong.
But who ever said that wrong couldn't be right?
It's nothing like he's ever done before.
Family forsaken.
-
If only laughter absolved murder.
