Selene and Helios, A Drabble by Becky

Selene’s love is boundless. Her dark seeks Helios’ light. Her cold seeks his warmth. She wants him to see her, gift her with a fraction of his intensity. He is blinded by his own brilliance and doesn’t notice her pale luminescence, though she is so close he could touch her. He only sees the other stars, distant in the firmament, but matching his glory.

She vows, “you will see no one but me,” and envelops his radiance in her ghostly glow.

Her love cannot hold. He breaks free. But she plays the long game, beginning her obsessive celestial dance anew.
