‘Mom…’
I was more or less ten steps away from the street lamp,
almost feeling relieved for having left the darkness
behind when a low groan reached my ears, turning me
stiff in my place. It didn’t sound like a pained groan, it
was more of a grunt. Similar to what I had heard two
years ago on the night of my first Halloween party.
“No,”
“Ugh...”
I had heard no footsteps yet the sound seemed to have
come closer,
“Ugh…”
“Ah!”
“H..t. H..t”
“Stop it!”
“Let me go!”
“Hell.”
“He..rrt. Hea..rrrt.”
“HYSTERIA!”
“F-Free me.”
Free me.”
“A kiss,”
“Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc,”
“H…t. H…rt.”
“Fuck,”
“He..art. Hea..rrt.”
“Heart. Heart.”
“Fine!”
“Good choice.”
“Ah!”
“Mmph…”
I had expected the paint on his lips to taste like chalk yet
it didn’t. The paint wasn’t smearing my lips either. It
almost felt like a part of his skin. His lips on the other
hand, they felt sweeter than any fruit I had ever
consumed. His thumb and index finger was holding my
chin in its place, guiding my face to suit his lips’ chaste
movements. Contrary to my expectation, his touch was
way more gentle than his colorful personality. He was
kissing my lips as if they were made of glass.
