"...after the darkness was created, his days were spent being hunted by it. it didn't want to hunt him, it just wanted him to feel hunted. and so it chased him all day, being careful not to ever catch him. but not letting him escape either.
one day, he made the choice and stopped. with a planet of fear in his heart, he turned around and looked at the darkness for the very first time. and it was his face he saw in it.
from that day on, he made everything light. the darkness stayed dark, but it was so bright, it couldn't see him."
"it reminded me of you."
love this diptych. brilliant!
