Shadows and Heat
The world consists of shadows and heat, the whispers of hell on earth as they hold each other close, desperate -- as he lets her fit against him, the swell of her chest pressed close until he knows before she breathes, before her heart skips a beat; he will protect her until it passes. If it ever passes.
The sky is blue again, above them -- miraculous; there are tears in his eyes as he stares, and he cannot help but kiss her, taste the last remnants of the darkness on her teeth, her tongue: the last of all they’ve ever known.
