Bodily

It creaks. It pulsates. Then it freezes up.

What if it ends soon, by sunrise?

Uncomfortable Distance

Rooted body. Touch.
Spiritless. Emotionless.

The distance between us is undeniable, yet invisible.

I became lost, stranded, all alone. But for all I know, he could be too.

I see him. But how will I find him in this fog? I can't feel him. I can't sense him. I can't find him.

It's cold, and I don't want it to get dark.

Let's get out of this fog before then.

Fallen Knight

I am not sad; it's never that simple. I am in pain. Nobody sees the blood-stained armour I wear, dented and bruised by blows. There is no justice on this land, and our knights are spread thin across this wretched earth.

The shapeshifters have begun to catch up to us, and soon they will devour us. Even I have been bitten by one just a few nights ago. I thought I had escaped it, but I know now, it lies in the shadow, waiting for me to leave an opening; a weakness, and then it will strike at the darkest hour.
