Fictober Drabbles - Day 2
Today’s @stoickovic prompt: “Flashlight”
It is nearly midnight when she parks in front of the house after Christian Fearon’s surgery. Exhaustion tugs at her every step, making the walk to the front door feel nearly interminable.
Inside, her gaze lands on the coffee table, empty but for a massive tactical flashlight like the kind they used to carry into the woods, so many years ago, and a folded piece of paper. She sets down her briefcase and picks up the note, immediately warmed by his familiar scrawl.
The darkness may always find us, but we’ll just have to keep shining all the brighter.
