Lovers For The Blood Moon
she rasped, “you’ll never be free”
John met her eyes
“I’d rather die a man than live as your monster”
He drove the final blade into the center of the altar
The red light exploded upward, splitting the trees in half
And the woman’s body collapsed into dust
Silence,then wind,then nothing
Sarah helped John up, her hands shaking
Daniel walked into the clearing, his arm burned but still whole
David stood last, holding the empty ledger
“She’s gone,” he said. “But the moon”
John looked up it was still red still full still waiting
