Beautiful Eyes

A small voice called to me.

The Everfree Forrest.

“You okay, Sebby?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You really don’t remember?”

“No! I don’t even know what’s going on!”
An amber light shined in the distance. With the world being so dark and gloomy, it was impossible to miss.

Sugar Cube Corner was ablaze once again right before my eyes.

A familiar figure rose from the orange tongues of light lapping up toward the sky.
She was small… Head set awkwardly…

“You…”
With a loud, morose, angry cry the world suddenly burst into color as a twisted cyan face flashed before my eyes.

Murderer…
Murder...
I was a killer…
