Staring into the sky.
Unblinking.
Watching darkness spread over the earth.
Watching it engulf the sun.
All light disappearing.
She knows darkness well.
It dances in her veins and pours out of her with crimson blood.
The ground is wet.
Slick with new rain.
Her hands are slick with water.
Just like when she cries.
Unable to see herself.
Not even a sliver of light.
She has disappeared.
She likes it better this way.
She can forget who she is.
Forget what she has been through.
Forget what is happening.
Forget the screams and the stabbing pain.
The heavy weight on her and the blood staining her sheets.
She can forget that his seed is inside her.
Forget that he ever existed.
And forget what she must do.
All is swallowed up in a beautiful eclipse.
The world has stopped spinning.
Time does not exist.
There is no life.
No blood.
No breath.
But it cannot last forever.
The darkness is receding.
Light meets and burns her eyes.
Bringing back all she has forgotten.
Her eyes are as wet as the ground.
The knife is heavy in her hand.
She breaks open her flesh.
Pours out blood as red as the sky at sunset.
Making her own eclipse.
One that will never end.
