The wrong end


Take one more step and you will die

She hesitated her foot lingering in the air
Turning her gaze behind her

Trust me one more time Hop

The look of concern sprawling over his face
He was young a bit unkempt
His eyes seemed to undulate in varying shades

Just hop

She smiled as she surrendered to his whim
Thinking just a prank played

It was a bee she noticed
wings unbalanced
but unmoving

She reached a finger
prodding the insect in space

I can explain

She swivelled her head
No motion of any kind from anything
She could see the slivers of sunlight
Her legs for a moment
Shivered and dropped her to the ground

Sorry but your the first person who listened
He smiled as he offered her his hand

I am an Ender
