Bayou Moon
“To her, death would only be a welcome embrace. It was all that she yearned for now. But like so many times before, she feared it was only a wish that would never be granted.
As she tried to step out into the brightness of day, the rays of the sun scorched and blistered her flesh. As if being boiled alive in a vat of acid, the pain seared her with an unforgiving relentlessness that traveled through her whole body. Beyond the pain, she could almost feel a sense of peace, almost like that of a sweet child’s slumber she would never have to wake from again. All she would need to do is get through the pain.
The pain was pure agony. Her skin smoldered as the sun ate at her like a beast devouring its prey.
Even now as the pain consumed her, all she had to do was take that final step out of the shadows and into the light. It’s what she wanted, just one more step.
