The Green Flash, by potionsmaster Rating: T ~~~~~~
“...all you have to do is take my hand…”
Instead of Kaidan’s warm embrace, I fall headlong into a pit. Instead of his arms around me, I feel the prickle of electricity coursing through my skin, searing it away until there’s nothing left but the synthetic skin, muscle, and bone weave that held the thin threads of my body together. Instead of blissful ignorance, I am painfully aware of every nerve and synapse firing. And that it will be for the last time. Instead of his hand, I grasp nothing. I try to hold onto the image of his smiling face in my mind, his whiskey brown eyes and how they crinkled in the corner as my heartbeat chases my pulse around my body, vision carving down to pinpoints like always before I pass out. But instead of black, there’s something else. Instead, there’s a green flash. And then there is darkness.
