Blink
Chapter 2- The Deal
He sat staring at the glass in his hands for a long time before swallowing the liquid in a single gulp. How could she, how could she do this to him. The one woman in the entire world he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and she had turned him down. Months of saving and weeks of looking at rings all for nothing, all because she was in love with someone else. The barman poured him another from the bottle and he downed that to. Suddenly life didn't feel worth living.
"I wouldn't say that" Someone said sitting down next to him. He looked up, his vision slightly blurred from the alcohol. It was a man, slightly taller than him and clearly sober and he was smiling. "What's that" he said to the blurred man beside him. Surely this man could not have been talking to hm, although a quick glance around told him that there was no one else. Surely this man could not have been reacting to his thoughts. "I wouldn't say that life isn't worth living" Apparently he did know what he was thinking.. "Do I know you buddy?" Was the slurred question that left his lips in response. The other man just smiled.
"No, We've only just met. But I think I can help you." The man turned to face him now and maybe it was just the light in the deserted bar, but his eyes were yellow. "How can you help me?" No one could help him, no one. Except maybe the barman who had poured him another drink. "What if I said you could have her back" That got his attention. "If I said that you could have her, and have her forever. That She'd never be able to leave you." It was everything he wanted, everything he could possibly ask for handed to him on a plate.
"Then would we have a deal Mr Moore?"
