Back
The Thief The night stirs as shadows dance Denizons of night awaken as the light dies. Somewhere, a watch calls out the time At the calling of the time the thief stirs. The watch, unknowingly invited to dance by the roll of the die sleepily acknowledges the night. Through the night the thief slows time with each roll of the die. He stops as the watch stirs, his hand seeming to dance upon the hilt as he studies the watch. The gate watch catches a shadow slip through the night, trying to go unnoticed yet seeming to dance through time. Restless, he stirs- the sleep in his eyes dies. The light dies in the watch's eyes. The thief's blade stirs, gliding through the night. Time stopped, the blade dances. His eyes dance over the body as it dies. Time of the essence should the missing watch be dicovered. The night wanes, day stirs. After the watch dies, the thief stirs to action, dancing through the dying night, avoiding time - again Back |
