A flash of light burns around the edges of Stan’s peripheral as he runs toward the nights black lit emptiness. Don’t look back, don’t look back he tells himself, but the overwhelming feeling of anticipation and regret, strangle the reason from him, and he turns. Stan sees a large being floating in the air with a sword glowing as bright as the sun itself; winged and blazing, he looks upon the last sight his eyes will behold as he turns to a pillar of salt.
Nice job, Jason. Being turned into a pillar of salt sucks too. Believe I spent at least three thousand years stuck as one of those pillars, but being a curious creature and all. 🙂
The “large being” could use a bit more personality. The pillar of salt thing would definitley suck, esp. in the rainy season ! ; )
