Story a Day May 2019, Day 2
Originally was working on a longer piece, but since it's still ongoing, I have another drabble based on an image I had for after the story plays out.
Broken Mirror
The mirror lay cleaved in two, the surface rippling like puddles. Glass shrapnel scattered across the floor, and old blood soured the air. James traced the outer extremities, while his best friend walked around the circle widdershins.
“Lady Darinae will be displeased you came back against orders,” Leonard warned.
James ignored him, lost in memories of a different blood-stained floor. She’d protected him, just as she had last time.
“Come back with me. It’s what your mother would have wanted.”
James’ head snapped up.
“No, it’s not.”
