5. Together, At Last

We got caught in a tight embrace.
We kissed;
I tasted love.

12. 1. I walked down the dark street.
I was alone at first. Then at the
end of the road, a figure
appeared. I ran away from it,
scared.
13. 2. I walked down the long and
winding street. It was close to
midnight, and I can feel the cold
breeze blowing around me. I had
no one with me as I walked along
the gravelled path.
14. I trudged through the cobblestones,
avoiding the potholes filled with
water; it had just rained. As I
approached the middle of the street,
I came to sudden stop.
15. I stood for a moment as I let my
eyes focus on what was appearing
before me. Right there, at the end of
the dark street, I saw her: a figure of
a woman draped in white, with long
flowing dark hair, her back turned to
me.
16. Slowly, the figure started to turn. I
could not take my eyes of her. When
she finally faced me, I gasped. She
had no face. I screamed, and turned
back to run.
