Title: November Night

A/N: Er, this turned out a little more, I dunno, *hand-staple-forehead* than I wanted it to. Ah well.
Starlight glinted off the black surface of the lake, still as a mirror under a moonless sky, and off the black centers of a pair of eyes gazing out across it. A cold wind arose and scattered the looking-glass, scattered leaves, rustling brittleness as they brushed against one another. The wind also whipped strands of black hair into the watching eyes, and stung the cheeks and nose of their owner, but he didn't mind; it stung far less than tears would have if he had allowed them. Every first of November since... since it had happened was like this, anyway.
