Prompt: Acid


They were green. So green. The color of death's magical incarnate. The color of grass on a cool summer day. Like sparkling emeralds.

When he was angry they lit up with such ferocity, it was like they were spitting acid. They don't spit acid anymore.

How could those pools of green be so empty now? So dull? Why did the light have to leave them?

As I watched him fall I thought of the grass on a cool summer day. The grass we sat on out by the lake. I thought of how his eyes sparkled like emeralds when he was happy and how they glowed like the killing curse when we made love under the stars.

As I watched him fall I thought of how there was no word to describe the beauty and life that shone in his eyes except gone.


Please review. It's nice to know that someone's reading.
