For Giles, love had always had dark eyes. Ethan, who saw him as he wanted to be seen, his reflection in those eyes as dark as he wished to be. Jenny, who saw a man when others only saw a walking library, eyes as dark as their nights together, and the nights they never had. Olivia, dark eyes in a dark face, who couldn’t cope with the darkness looking back. All his lovers, so much different, always the same eyes. Deep and dark and sparkling. Mischief, humour, desire- sparks in the darkness, stars in the sky. Like looking into forever.
100 words sounds easy, right?
no, nope, nuh-uh, not a bit.
I had either 20 words too many or 5 too few. So I fiddled and left out some bits and posted it and now I'm sitting here in nailbiting terror that someone will hate it. Or just that no one will like it. Or that my word count thingy cant do math. Or something.
plus I actually posted it as soon as I wrote it, which I *never* do, but you kinda have to for this community, so now I'm seeing all the words I want to go back and change. meeep.
The topic for the week is 'eyes' and I'm thinking theres got to be more about seeing and blindness and glasses and stuff. But I probably wont be able to write it. Because it turns out 100 words is quite difficult.
