Darker Than Desire
“There had been blood on it. Blood and gore and other … things.
Don’t think on it. It had been necessary.
Sometimes it was necessary to do hard things.
Hard? It was a sly whisper.
“The devil. Ignore him.”
That wasn’t a hard thing, the voice crooned. It was … evil.
“No.” Denial was a living, breathing thing. “Not evil. Necessary.”
Oh. But it was. Evil. And you loved it. Just as you loved it then.
Because it was too hard to silence that voice when still, the one who watched left the silence and mo...ved out into the cool, open air, breathing it in.
“A walk.” That was a good idea. “A walk will clear my head.”
A walk. No thinking about what had been done.
“No reason.” Now there was a smile. “What’s done is done.”
But as clothes were changed, hair brushed and dealt with, hands shook.
Evil, the voice continued to insist. Evil.
“Necessary.”
Grass crunched under solid, sturdy soles. Birds called in the distance. The voice went silent. For a moment.
But then it returned, even more gleeful.MoreLess
