by NightRaven

NightRaven I figured I'd post this today, though I made it last week. It kinda sucks... Maybe?
It's... Weird.
She stood in the crowd that pushed past her, silent and staring at…
Nothing.
A blank, empty space that no one else seemed to notice.
She didn't move, even when the others pushed her away. She couldn't take her eyes off of that blank space. She couldn't blink. She couldn't speak. She couldn't move. She couldn't feel the others there. She couldn't hear them as they tried to convince her to move.
All that mattered was the empty space where nothing, no one, stood; where nothing dared pass; where no one dared look.
Except for her.
Finally, she started to move, started to approach the empty space, where only shadows lay. She slipped between the others without straying from her path. The space seemed so welcoming, untouched, undisturbed…
She stepped into the shadows.

She stared him in the face.

He stared her in the face.
She reached a hand toward him.
He reached a hand toward her.
She grasped his hand.
He grasped her hand.
"So, you see it, too?"
"So, you see it, too?"
"No one has seen it in years,"
"No one has seen us in years,"
"Because they ignored it."
"Because they ignored us."
