Drabble Wednesday: Moon and Monsters

Back after a short hiatus, I have three more dark drabbles for you. Enjoy.

Eternal Life

I wander under the moon, alone. Lost in the torrid waves of the world as it changes around me. Forever in flux, yet eternally constant through history. I yearn to change, to feel joy again, to not live under the cloud of melancholy shadowing this predictable life.
To be afraid of the unknown, of death; I long for these things, but they are denied to me. I have lived, and lived again, in repetition, in ennui, in rage, and despair. Nothing changes my fate, nothing gives me hope. I linger here, a cursed fool, chained by a wish for immortality…

My life will appease the monsters, and keep them trapped here, far from the world.

Kiss of the Moon

The snapping bite of the wind bent the trees and a rumble quivered deep beneath the earth. The ebon ink of the sky caressed the blood red moon as her eerie light reached towards the ground. Quaking under the moon’s touch, the earth split its surface, releasing a ghostly black mist.
The moonlight glowed, enveloping the miasma that swirled under its lover’s embrace. Light and darkness merged, one ethereal entity, entwined, entranced, lost in a love denied, forbidden, only existing in this echo of time. Mist and moonlight had but one night to dance until lost to the rising sun…
