DRY LIPS (5-minute Freewrite)

a 5-minute Freewrite by A.E. Jackson

Her dry lips brushed his cold skin and they fell together into the rust colored leaves. Around them the night filled with the sound of cackling crows, and the buzz of insects on the prowl. Were'nt they just the same?

When the sun had set and evening rolled out like a blanket across the small town they had both been on separate ends of the valley. She pruning back dried flower arrangements to give the spiders a better place to hang their web. He at work preparing a banquet for -as of yet unmet- guests. The plates, silverware, and goblets all placed just so.

On the prowl. Each one opening doors miles apart. Each one on a path set by fate. A collision course from which neither could deviate.

The fire hall had been over decorated for the Annual Fall Bonfire and Dance. The bright orange, pitch black, and earth-tone greens folded together.

They met and their dark love bloomed.
