Peekaboo

I stood in the dark doorway, she was laying on the queen sized bed that was in the middle of the dimly lit room, i watched her weak image as it faltered and flickered. My wife, Leila, was a teleporter and her death was near, i loved her dearly and she soon going to be gone. I had known her life was short but it all seemed to happen to fast, teleporters had a shorter lifespan due to the teleportation that consisted in their life, i had wished maybe this time she would stay alive with the strength of love but my stupidity just caused me more pain. I walked over to her bed and kneeled beside her, she forced a weak smile that shattered the remaining pieces of my heart, tears of sadness streamed down my weary face. Leila wiped a small tear away, her image flickered once more

"Peekaboo" she whispered softly , i nodded, the memories shining in my mind

"I see you" i replied, she smiled before she disappeared completely leaving only the vivid and almost real memories.
