THE
ILLUSION
I ran. Deep in the woods, the darkness enveloped me like a thick soup. I felt invisible, cloaked, and safe.
I doubted you knew I was gone. You'd killed me.
The going was slow, but speed wasn't important. I imagined
myself with the hunting abilities of the cat, stealthy and silent.
At the creek, I cleaned off the blood, tore my dress, and
created bandages. Then I covered myself with mud. I would disappear entirely.
Then the clouds parted. A ray of moonlight lit the path. I heard
you laugh and knew the safety of the darkness was an illusion.
