Danny Is The Ancient Of Space - Tumblr Posts

DP Prompt

   Danny died, electricity in his veins, cold on his lips, scream in his lungs. 

   Danny lived, frost in his hands, cries on his tongue, scars on his skin. 

   He told his friends he didn’t remember it. That it all went dark, that one moment there was a jolt and the next he was waking up to their worried shouts and pleas. He told them he didn’t remember anything. 

   Danny lied. 

   For just a few moments, between the whine of lightning, the chill of metal, the stench of burning flesh, for just a few scant moments, he saw it. The vision is seared in his mind, dancing on his eyelids the moment he closes his eyes. 

   For just a moment, he was something more than a body of flesh and bone. For just a moment he witnessed the cosmos, the sky opening up to welcome him, of starlight dancing below his skin and newborn moons floating in his chest. 

   For just a moment, he sees all that has been, all that will be- the dark, the light, the beginning of worlds as they boil and cool, the end of it all as suns explode and blackholes devour. For just a moment, he dances freely amidst the universe, flying between galaxy amidst blinks, despite never having done so. 

  For just a moment, he is something More, something far greater, before he comes crashing back down into the restraints of a body, of a confined form too small for him, human brain aching as it tries to understand despite knowing it could not. 

   And now, staring at this Other, this ghost that is not, with a form that shifts and changes beyond what his human eyes can perceive… 

   For a moment, Time looks at Space, and Danny? He looks back.
