The Curse - A Short Story By: Alan Mack
Here I stand gazing upon your beauty. My breath is taken away every time I see you. I miss the feeling of my hands caressing you. Remembering how it feels to hold your hand. Running my hands through your hair. I struggle now.......wanting to touch you......just so slightly.......ever so softly. No, I cannot. I know what happens if I do. I do not want you to go. I want you to stay. I do not know if I can bare you leaving again. Ohh.....just a light touch, it has been so long. Let's move slowly.....very slowly. Almost there. Wait...remember....remember. As if lightening has struck me, I am overwhelmed......rivers of water flow down my face to the ground. You are still here....can it be.....the Curse....gone? No...no!!! I watched in horror as her hand turns black. I should not have touched her...there is no going back. Quickly she crumbles; to dust she goes. For all that I see....of my dearest love......is a pile of dust....all......because.....of......me. Short Story By: Alan Mack Sh...
