no matter how long they followed,
the creature,
the light,
always out of reach.
it remained, always distant, always waiting.
.
the journey proved too long for some,
and one by one they began to fade.
she wasn't the first to fall, nor the last.
they were all stuck,
closer to nothing.
.
or so they believed.
so focused on the light far away,
they haven't noticed the one growing right beside them.
