OK, this isn't really elf-related, but I want to spread this story to the world! Check it out? PWEEZ?
AngelWings (short text)
Broke.
My heart had broke, was gone now, sinking deeper into pain. I couldn't see or hear anything. It was like a soft, dark blanket had been thrown over me. I was going to die, for the most complete sure. Perhaps the pure loneliness of the moment would be enough for that, enough for the pain I was feeling.
I gasped for air as the dull scent of nothingness filled my nostrils. If I still had nostrils, or even a body. I could feel nothing, barely more than my useless thoughts left to despair.
But my doubts vanished as fast as they had appeared. Even with my eyes shut tight I saw it, a huge blast of light that certainly would have blinded me in case I had looked directly to it. The pulsing energy suddenly released inside my soul made me think that, after all, maybe I wasn't that much dead.
When the light diminished a bit, I finally dared to take a look. I could see nothing but a soft golden light. I should be scared, I thought, but how would fear resist in sugh a wonderful light?
Almost at the same time, I realized I could move my hands only slightly. At least I still had my body, I thought. And I could feel my legs and my arms and my head. And two large, unfamiliar lumps on my back I couldn't remember of.
When all the light went off, I somehow managed to get up, feeling my head dizzy with all what had just happened. The unfamiliar weight on my back almost pulled me back down again. I stumbled, giving some steps in random directions, whe I realized I could control the 'things'. With one swift move, two large, dark-gray feathery shapes unfolded.
Those 'lumps' attached to my shoulders - those were angel wings.
