Embers

Sitting by my fire.

Watching embers flicker and die.

What nobody knows, is that right behind me,

is a pair of purple glowing eyes.

Slender limbs, ebony skin.

I can't seem to find him.

I look around

around and around and WOOSH

I see it right in front of me.

A N  D

The fire slowly burns out.

The embers continue on.

Without me.
