Forever Glass

I saw her sleeping.  I knew I should do something. I wanted to run over. I wanted to kiss her full, red lips. And run my fingers through her short coal hair.

            “Hey Princey! Aren’t you gonna kiss Snow White?”

            But I was frozen to the ground, my riding boots never moving an inch. True loves kiss? Was there even such a thing?

            My thoughts and eyes were wandering but both led me back to the same place. Beautiful Snow White encased in the glass coffin and the dwarves surrounded around her with tears in their eyes.

                        .

Why grieve when you can keep your loved one encased in Forever Glass?

Isiah?

He had the gun to his head.

He pulled the trigger getting ready to shoot. “STOP!”

8.

His grip around the holster was loosened.  “Isiah, please listen to me. You don’t have to do this. You know there are other ways.”

7.

“But this is the easiest.”

6.

He knew she was right; so he lowered the gun. It rested near his thigh.  “I can’t stop this anymore.”

5.

The gun was back at his head.

4.

His thumb moved.

3.

Silence.

-BANG-

“Isiah?”
