Just to tell a tale Part III

Embers barely glow.

Still, i see the reflection in your eye.

All the others have found their beds,
  but you persist.

Never mind the shackles clank,
  one more tale.

One more tale.

Perhaps of one who flew too close to the Sun?

Maybe of the clown who lures children into the sewer deep?

I'm sorry, child.

I was sent here to tell a tale.

I was sent to lull your village into the depths of sleep.

But, you are not like them.

Join me.

Learn to tell a tale.

Again??? Is there more?

[Jon Roggie]

Should I continue?

[Matching Socks]

Yes, I think so. :)

One more, and it can only grow darker.

[Matching Socks]

Dark is good! :)

lovely in sentiment , truly
free to tell tales with a tale teller that doesn't know they have tales to tell...but the love of tales tells it's own
thank you for sharing

This was a bit of a dark write for me. After a few months, I can see a bit of light in the story. Thank you.
