Immortality dreamt:
“He’ll never get it. Go on!” The boys snicker and nudge the thin frame, almost knocking him over. They laugh.
Alert eyes open in the dark.
“Are you scared?”
“Never.”
He lights a candle, illuminating the bare wooden room. Reverently he strokes the books he has found so far. His left eye twitches. A small push and the window opens to the mild night. He deftly plucks a flower from the pot.
“He’ll die trying, the freak.” “He’ll go to Hell then, Miss Lily said so.”
He crushes the flower in his fist.
“I hope he does.”
“Never,” he whispers.
