Just a theory. 100 words.

---------------------------------------------
Caveat Emptor
---------------------------------------------

The price of eternal life is the seeker's soul. Many who walk the dark paths hesitate to take that final step, to break all ties to the natural ebb and flow of the world. But some, a few, enough, make the bargain.

And they do live on. Forever. Empty. Shrouded in the darkness that they once embraced, their bodies an outward manifestation of inward horror. They drain happiness, desperately seeking the emotions they can no longer feel. They steal souls, fruitlessly throwing grains of sand into the void where their own should be.

Their kiss is the taste of oblivion.

Inspired by the 9/19/04 [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets word #73: harvest

---------------------------------------------

Sunday school went well this morning. Despite my insomnia last night, I didn't fall asleep in class, and I managed to tell the story of Jonah and the Whale so it sounded interesting to 6-year-old kids. Go me!

I also finished a book on the history of Buddhism in China. Interesting stuff.

Naps are god. I worship naps. Especially after getting about 3.5 hours of sleep last night.

A rather dark take on harvest. If I wasn't playing with my current !verse, I think I may of headed off into similar territory.
