Djinn

Chapter Eight

She cannot know I am here. And yet she is reaching for me with
everything left of what she was and every possibility of what she
may be. She still wants to trade places but she no longer wants
to be saved.

Now I see. How this being could survive such treatment and not
surrender herself to the amorphous nothing they tried to send her
to. Her soul is stitched to her magnificent heart with a shimmer of
gold that humbles me in its splendour.

She wants to save me.
