Fiction Friday – Sunsets

Sunsets

As appealing as sunsets are for their beauty, there is greater resilience found when the light acquiesces to the darkness and you don’t know how long the night will last. You try to shape the shadows with your hands into recognisable forms so you are less afraid of the velvet blackness and it tests your stability when you cannot see where the attack comes from. You feel the impact in your bones and in your spirit. Wounds are hard to manage in the darkness, therefore, find what little light you can. Even that smallest firefly of light dispels enough of the darkness to tend to your injuries and help you see the next step forward. Borrow light if you have to.
