12 August 2012
The raindrops hit me like cold diamond daggers. A thick musty smell hung in the icy air. I hurried through the wet cobbled streets pulling my black coat around me to protect me from the unsympathetic storm.
The street lamps cast long ink black shadows through the torrent of glassy water. The world had turned a thousand shades of grey.
A figure stepped into the wet lane. They seemed to glide with inhuman grace towards me. I squinted through the glittering drops. The person wore a striking mask made of black lace and gold metal that shone in the lamp light. Gilded metal curled in a beautiful pattern across the mid-night black mask. She wore a stunning corseted dress and a sapphire necklace round her pale neck. Her emerald eyes were weirdly alive through the exquisite disguise.
She floated by me with extreme elegance, And disappeared into the swirling ashen fog.
I stood dazed under the gloomy light. I turned and ran back to my safe cozy house.
