Excerpt from Darkling,
The Lights Went Out and Other Stories.
“Unable
to take her eyes off the stranger, Emmeline moved from tree to tree until he
seemed close enough to touch until finally as if in a dream, she stepped out
from behind the cover of the trees to face him, a bird released from a trap
with no choice but to fly towards danger.
The
walker between the trees turned on his heel sensing her, he moved towards the
slight figure of the girl in the grey cloak whose wide eyes shone at his
approach. The stitching on his waistcoat glinted in the moons light as he
neared. Her eyes were drawn to a face of contradictions; ancient yet youthful.
His
skin was white as the light that the moon poured down.
White
as bone bleached in the sun.
Pale
as the ice in the village pond in midwinter.
Pale
and cold as death.”
