~He gave himself up to save her~

He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price.

√√√√√√√√

Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose.

The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh.

With gold and diamond, he lures you in. 

He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, 

And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter.

He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour—his sole desire.

So children, run, keep your concession, 

Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned.

Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.

The Concession

'Come back to me Will, come back, I'm right here. I love you...' 


Will's mind was reeling...it was all coming back, everything. 


He remembered the time before the surgery, four years ago he remembered everything; about where he'd worked, before Monosoft. 


He remembered the first time he'd met her. 


She'd seemed like an angel and indeed she was. 


She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever laid eyes on. 


Her spilling coffee on him was the best thing that ever happened to him. 


They'd talked and Will felt like he'd known her all his life. He felt like all the missing pieces in his life were suddenly filled. 


The memories started filling in from there, arranging themselves in order had though they were files in a cabinet, dusty files that only needed to be cleaned and properly sorted. 


With each 'file' that came up, the mystery started getting clearer, the missing links were getting filled and he could suddenly connect the dots.
