They’re lucky to escape with their lives and to still have each other, and maybe a fighting chance.
Oil and water don’t mix, Vi said so herself—unless you had an emulsifier; can blood do that?
A big shiny full moon hangs in the sky above, tinted red, red as the blood they’ve shed together, red as anger. It would be beautiful if they weren’t under such a threat. They hang on to each other not out of tenderness but for support, for sheer life.
The moon shines on them and a shooting star sails past—nothing to wish upon.

I love this. Particularly this sentence- Oil and water don’t mix, Vi said so herself—unless you had an emulsifier; can blood do that?

You've said so much in just a few words. Well done!

Thank you!

♡♡♡ Wow, the last sentence is heartbreaking, and the whole story is so beautifully written, you can feel their post-traumatic shock in every word.

Thank you! (I'll confess I'm rather proud of the last sentence.)
