A thought in 99 words
The light.
It’s there at the end of the tunnel, but I am immovable. The encroaching shadows trap and consume, seeping to the marrow of my bones, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.
It changes me. Is it too late?
Weakness is my way. Failing is my victory. I have no will to move let alone live beyond this moment of blindness as I stare into the unattainable light.
Yet, do my eyes deceive? He is a match struck in the bleakest night who does not fear darkness, and shadows hide when he is near.
I’m not alone.
I love writing with such a limited word count. Great flash!

Thanks, Sarah. 🙂 It’s a good challenge to set oneself. Especially when that someone, such as me, tends to be long-
winded. haha

Lovely and haunting writing in this piece! Yet with a very real hope in the end, a hope that each of us can have if we look for His light.
