persephone heart game; (run 1)

[idolpro]

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice...

Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.

[the last of your air goes, replaced by water. there is water in your lungs. you can't breathe.

you reach for him, you and your love, and that is the last you are aware of as the water takes you, and for a long moment there is nothing-

and then the world is spinning, upside down, and is right side up again as you wash up somewhere else.]
