the Black Mountain

August 19th 2008 11:49
In her haste to forget the future, she abandonned the vacuous creatures and climbed the nearest pinnacle. The only thing that mattered in her life right now was the next thing. Her eagerness preceded her, like the whirly gigs of dust that played games on the dour desert.

But when she reached the peak, she was confronted by another even higher one in the distance. The Black Mountain. The name dropped onto her tongue like an acid brew. The intervening space was measured in years and her skin stretched and sagged. No longer young, she dragged herself up the merciless montain, panting and heaving.

No nearer the top than when she began, night enclosed her wretched body, stroking her soul with ice fingers. Whoever she was now, that individual sought refuge from the dying light and the end of time.
