I'm sorry to tell you this, Jacob. But I can't do this, I can't stop him, it's more than I can do. I will try but my heart and talent aren't strong enough. I don't want to tell you you only have maybe a month left but I can't see another way.
And now we can cry together. Tears and skies falling into the real-grey swirling sea until everything turns black.
United in time till we die , me forgotten, you dying.
I don't know which I would prefer.
So know we can cry together. Silky tears of molten metal and colours.
Water is too little,too much liquid and not enough substance.
So I don't cry normal tears for you but silvery-thick metal until it melts into words,beautiful quivering words.
'Jacob' they speak 'I'm sorry to tell you this but you are in deep danger and no one can save you. Don't be afraid to cry,mourn with me. You aren't alone, I love you.'
I tap them gently and the shiver up into the air fading into perfectly nothing but silvery shimmers in the air. I blow on them and like glitter they float out the window and I know who they are sent to.
I don't really know how or what but I think it's magic.

And my mind is gone until I smell something. Something that saves my mind from it's dying waves.
Something that seeps deep within my soul
