Dearest,
I can feel it taking hold. With every breath, I am less myself and more a product of it. I find thoughts in my head that I did not put there, actions carried out that I did not direct. No longer do I look people in the eye, for I know the reaction I will receive. And what else can I expect? Amber orbs do not reside in faces of the living. Every trace of the blue you once loved has been replaced with ember tints. Alone, I await the finale. I know when they take on that final hint of red, when my eyes are coals mirroring my master, I am lost.
They hunt me still, dear one. They know not what they seek.

But I had lots of fun doing this. And as I'm supposed to be writing a 2000 word paper currently, don't be too surprised if I subit for other pieces

Lol I do really suck with words, I can write "analytically" and when I really like something that I want to compliment but when it comes to being poetical, narrative or descriptive I live in the sewer.
Seems to me like you're applying Voltaire's quote, hhmm?

Also, I want to know what it is?!
You are a devious and dastardly person set on tormenting me. I see it now.
Lol, but really for such a short piece it leaves one wanting more. Tantalizing is the word, and full of possibilities. Do write more.

Death had tried firey steeds and skeletal horses in the past and found them impractical, especially the fiery ones, which tended to set light to their own bedding and stand in the middle of it looking embarrassed
And I would write more, if I have any idea where it was going. As always, I do not...

I am beginning to believe that it's just generally better when one doesn't have a clue where these things are going. Lol, but you are proving your versatility.

Try that? As this is a contest entry and I'm allowed 500 words to play with, I was thinking about extending it. Writing another letter, maybe. But again, that means I have to have a better idea what I'm doing!!
And thanks re. the versatility comment. I think reading really wildly helps write across genres. And I hate getting pigeonholed in every other aspect of my life, so why would I allow it as a writer haha.
