As his body fell to the ground, his arms flailing, the heart failing, I gave myself a chance to smile. Nothing, nothing on this earth as sweet.
The crowd gathers, she runs to his side. She has tears in her eyes. She grabs his lifeless body, moaning, sobbing. The blood stains her lovely evening gown, how pretty she had looked. I stand only but a few feet away, where no one can see me. I edge out of the shadows just so the light touches the small of my face. She senses me, only with me whispering devious secrets in her ear. Her eyes full fo hate, mine full of malice with a smile to evoke madness, she stares at me through the darkness.
"How touching."
"Indeed. How frail and predictable."
"We were once Kostya, the same as them."
"Yes. Before. How different and yet how alike we are."
"How so?"
"That we both possess such inhumane thoughts. Although what seperates us, is the ability to do such."
I looked at him, the one that stood close to my side. He was beautiful.
"Let's go. We have lingered too long."
I smiled and disappeared into the shadows.
