Once again, they whisper sweet lies to one another.  Nevertheless, they choose to believe and comfort each other.  Yet, they know that all that awaits is the cold, cruel reality. Foreword “When we hold each other in darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right,” we whisper. “I’m here. I love you.” And we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.”-Neil Gaiman Contest Entry for The Sky Is The Limit || Writing Contest.
