Foxtales Entry Week #3: "Harbinger"
A harbinger is someone that brings forth good or evil.
So here's my entry on foxtales ^^'
It was in the middle of a cold day in November. Determined, he gets out of the car and wanders into the rural streets of his hometown. He could feel the stares of the people. Some are doubting, some are admiring. Cautiously, he raises his scarf to cover half of his face. Being exposed is the one thing he wants to avoid this time. Once again it dawns on him that life in the limelight is never easy. He couldn’t easily sneak out to places he wants to go. Looking down, he notices the fractals of ice forming on the cold ground. Streets are showing signs of the snow that is threatening to fall. It’s only this day that he could go back in town without being overly suspicious. He walks into a dark alley from his childhood. Memories of the place surge into his mind without warning. Dark but vivid memories. He unconsciously touches the right side of his neck that is covered by the scarf. It’s in this place where he got the permanent mark from those who despises him. He was robbed of a place where he calls home. He was robbed of the childhood he could have experienced. He felt nauseous from the dark and violent memories from years back. Grabbing the reins of his life, he pulls himself out of the alley. He is back. With vengeance in tow.
