Black Cherry Kiss

Prologue: Running

xxx

Knuckles was running. Running like never before in his life.

Not running into the sunset.

Not running into the wind.

Not running into freedom.

Not running into life.

xxx

Just running into nothing.

When the red echidna ran into forgetting, the sky broke open and shared his sadness.

The clouds released their agony and the echidna kept running.

When a single echidnas feelings painted the sky in grey; and his tears where becoming one with the raindrops in the wind,

A black and crimson creature, lurking in the shadows of a tree, disappeared in a green flashlight, which mocked the lightning around with its brightness;

And the leaves carried his dark laughter away with the winds.
