Will-o'-the-Wisp

The sky was grey and oppressive; much like an executioner lording over a man on death row.

The sky was grey and oppressive on the day I tried to fly.

I tried to fly, but not with wing of bone and feather.

Rather, these wings could not be seen by others.

Wings of that pale dead light. Wings of the Will-o'-the-Wisp.

Their pressence calming, their whispers soothing.

I heard those whispers as I sprinted forward to take flight.

Those words swollowed me within that void of darkness and cold.

Swollowing me, until my body shared the feeling of my soul.
