Consume Me, In Your Darkness Episode 5

Episode 5

ALMOST 55 YEARS AGO.

The Soliloquy of Zoe I had been waiting for her for a long time. After a time, I became desperate to see her.

Zoe's Aside. Arina, where have you gone? What is it that's taking you so long?

I took a glance around. But I couldn't find a trace of her glance anywhere. I let out a sigh and continued to wait for her.

After a time, I unexpectedly grinned. I was reminiscing about our first encounter. Our first encounter was strange. I met her on the street for the first time.

Flashback

Young Zoe

I know,

I said over the phone to a friend,

Young Zoe

but it won't be a problem, I'll handle everything.

I peek in the rear view to see what's on the other side of the road. I need to go to college as quickly as possible, so I take the short way.

This is the woodland road, hardly a few people drive on it. After a time, I accelerate because there is no one else around and I can get there quickly.

Unfortunately, as I accelerated my speed, a lady approached my car, and I braked hard. Then she hit with my car.

Young Zoe

Fu'ck!

I murmured, my eyes widening. Is she all right?

Young Zoe

Hey, are you all right?

But she didn't react, so I asked,

Young Zoe

Ms., are you all right?

I said as I was ready to step out of the car.

But then she turned to face me, and our gazes locked through the car-glass.
