the creature held out its hand,

my dearest child
you will be in the most unexpected of places
with the most unexperienced of persons
in the most unfortunate of circumstances

she paused.
she could have corrected the creature's grammar but that wouldn't have change anything.
should she take his invitation, things will never be the same.

ending the silence, she looked up from her rainbow socks and smiled.

her delicate fingers seemed to disappear in the creatures claw,
there is no looking back,

embracing eternity begins.
