The swings creaked in a painful sorrow, his thin image no longer shifting slowly back and forth. He looked up at her as she stepped onto the small pebbles that surrounded the old skeleton of rust. His eyes were a dull cold yellow, the eyes of a broken predator. His silver hair flickered across his face, striking gently at his skin like a snake. She pause just looking at him, her stereotypical outfit waving like a field of dying roses in the wind. His lips curved suddenly into a frown and he looked down at his legs. "Promise me.." He spoke, the words taking a moment to jump into the current of air, "Promise me you wont let me fall when this all turns to hell.."

And he ended it before it could poison him. Silence filled the vast empty space. Only a single Rowan tree swayed in the non existent wind, its branches reaching down where the two figures sat, sheltering them from any harm that may come their way. It was time to leave this place again. He couldn't stay here for long. He hugged his knees tight, unconsciously swaying back and forth as he did so. Maybe, if he hugged himself hard enough, he could stay here and listen to one of her stories again? Just one short story. His efforts were in vain. He realized that when his hands and feet started to disappear, just like they have done thousands of times before. There was no way things could continue the way they were now.
