kesbeaconI dreamed I was some sort of Robin Hood type figure, in some form of grey vampiric dystopia; previously I had been one of my RPG characters* caught in a dance of ‘whose daughter is whose’ with various overlords of the verse. Ze made one of the vampires very insecure because he thought ze was better for both of their daughters than he was.
Anyway, in this verse, the peace was enforced by Templar knights, in their big bucket helmets. I knew that by proclaiming my revolutionary statements I would bring their wrath down on me. But every time this particular Templar caught me, we would exchange romantic banter, I would offer my apparent co-operation, and then I would wriggle away. And then one day he said to me, ‘I give up.’ He wasn’t trying to catch me anymore. It was... beautiful.
We stood two inches apart. I considered truly offering him my own surrender, as I had - falsely - before. I turned away and began to walk. After some time, he followed.
My heart was pounding. He was faster than me, and I didn’t know if he really had given up - if he was going to jump me. I didn’t turn, because if he was - that was okay, sort of. He was so very close. I was going to my ship, to leave, and half of me wanted to bring him with me. Most of me did.
We reached my ship. He tried to enter with me, but at the last, I couldn’t do it; I pushed him away from the threshold. The ship locked. Sealed. And could not take off, because the overlords had broken it. I lay down to starve, alone.
