Title: The Last One
Author: cmk418
Rating: G
Word Count: 103
Prompt: 160 (Sunrise, 1927)
Character: Spike



He was rarely at a loss for words, but there was one memory that continually evaded description. How could he capture the moment, the vision of light breaking over the earth, touching all – nearly all, his mind amended. How could he describe the softening of the darkness in those – fleeting – moments before the sun crept over the horizon? How could he describe the last time he was truly warm and suffused with the colors of the day? How could he describe that moment, that sunrise?

On the morning of the day he was turned, he’d barely noticed it at all.

For me this was kind of a dark piece. Poor Spike never to really get to enjoy the sunrsie again...

Wonderfully written

It turned out a bit darker than I expected too. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

Spike always seems so full of enjoyment about life, it never really struck me what, precisely, he had lost in becoming a vampire. This made much more of an emotional impact that the Harsh Light of Day scene (which was played for laughs). This is really affecting. Well done.
