Selene and Helios, A Drabble by Becky<\/p>\n
Selene\u2019s love is boundless. Her dark seeks Helios\u2019 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
She vows, \u201cyou will see no one but me,\u201d and envelops his radiance in her ghostly glow.<\/p>\n
Her love cannot hold. He breaks free. But she plays the long game, beginning her obsessive celestial dance anew.<\/p>\n
Six word stories By Becky<\/p>\n
Wizard’s work, subtracting sun, revealing corona.<\/p>\n
Shadow passes over the USA, only.<\/p>\n
Selene in dominance, Helios in hiding.<\/p>\n
Syzygy-sun-moon-earth in line.<\/p>\n
Sun-Moon-Sun- equal werewolf confusion.<\/p>\n
Six word stories By Tor Harper<\/p>\n
Oh look, the eclipse! I’m blind.<\/p>\n
Preschool lesson, don’t stare at sun.<\/p>\n
Ancients said panic, Oregonians say party!<\/p>\n
