Against The Darkness (Cimmerian Moon) - Plot & Excerpts
I ask. I’m lying in my bed, looking up at my mother. She’s beautiful. I always thought that she was. Her eyes are wide, feathered with thick, dark lashes. She doesn’t wear make-up, she never has and she doesn’t need to. Her nose is perfect and perky; that’s where I get mine from. Her lips aren’t like mine, they’re full and pink. Her skin is darker than mine, a light caramel color. It’s vibrant, with a glow that is always there. Her skin is smooth and even; I’ve never seen a pimple or blackhead on her. She’s sitting beside me on the edge of my bed, tucking my comforter in around my body. I haven’t seen or used this blanket in years. It has pictures of ponies on it, whimsical and childish. I’ve outgrown it, but right now it brings me comfort and warmth so I snuggle deeper into it. “I can’t really explain it,” she replies. She’s looking down at me with a half-smile on her face, but there’s sadness in her brown eyes. She’s wearing her naturally wavy hair down.
