You looked up into the night sky. Saw brilliant stars, expanding universe, mysterious galaxies, endless time. You looked down into my eyes. Saw faint light, boundaries of my soul, simpleness of my mind, the finity of my existence.
I linger beyond the border of light and dark, a black hole.

Great story, Marie!
Really, really like this :) Well done! Apart from limericks, I struggle to express my thoughts in under around 800 words. Nice challenge!
This is a very moving story, well written and packs an emotional punch. Very, very good.
