Fiction Friday (18 July 2008)

[Fiction] Friday Challenge for July, 18 2008:

Pick a character who loves the dark, and tell us why. Avoid the obvious choices: stealth, monsters, sex, and anything else you immediately thought of.

 

I close my eyes again. I can hear her fingers glide across the strings, her laboured breathing as she holds it between her legs. I can almost smell the sound now. Deep, rich, like black coffee.

She asked for a single light, apparently, she needs to see the instrument to be able to play it. I said no then, because I cannot hear it if the light is on. I allowed her a candle instead.

I drink in the sound. I can feel my vitality washing through my weary bodies. I needed this.

She has stopped playing. I can hear her heart pounding, and then her inner scream when I say play.

“Just one more,” I whisper, “just one.”

She drags the bow across the strings again. In the dark, the sound of the cello heals all my wounds.

Nicely done. Yes, there's a sensuousness to it.

There's something a little sinister going on here! Interesting piece.

There was a certain flavour of reserved erotica about this post. Delightful.

I look forward to reading more of your writing.

This is neat - thank you for it. I like that it starts in the middle - I close my eyes again.

I like the mystery - my weary bodies. . .

and the cello healing wounds. . .
