Possessed – 3 Word Wednesday
He can devastate me with only a look. No words are necessary.
We are intertwined, like the gossamer threads of a spider’s web. So resilient in one circumstance, so friable and delicate in another.
I do not yet have the measure of him. I am almost certain that it will be a lifetime’s work. I may not complete it in the years left to me on this earth.
My mood will plummet like the setting sun, as surely as his mood takes me down with him. He is a dark man, a man of the night’s soul, a man of the calm before the storm.
I can no more extricate myself from him, than the fly caught in the spider’s web. The more I struggle, the more fast am I caught.
It will surely hurt less if I accept my plight.

The Girl – Magpie Tales
The Girl had given up long ago. You could see it in her eyes.
She had decided – as young girls often do when life turns on them, viper fast and twice as deadly – that self-protection was her only option.
She pulled up her drawbridge. She armed her battlements. She opted for ‘No’ when she desired ‘Yes’.
Oh, The Girl’s life was safer, alright. How could it be anything more when she had turned her back on the world? How could she take risks with her arms folded tightly across her chest and her hands clenched into tiny fists?
She looked, but she did not see. She observed and noticed nothing.
She turned inwards. She defended herself from anyone and everything.
And so, she disappeared.
