Original Submission by Emanuel Moore

Broken Covenant

In the midst of foggy mist a pact is searching wildly for the mark bearing escapee. They chase and run endlessly like the tale of wolf and lamb. For a covenant is such a tie forever binding those that make it. Remember this tale, it is what will make or break your time. Pink and green - bound, orange and purple - bound, stuck together forever, separate the two and the two colours get lighter and lighter though never fades, always creating a hazy mist with two matches, one running not behind, but apart and still remaining. This is a broken covenant. You can try to run from your past- from what the future holds and they will stay closer than you think, somehow knowing your every single move, the more silent your step the more your color fades but you can never run away. Make your broken covenant strong, see every piece of the shards that are broken and move as you own them because you do own them.
