She Wore the Night Beneath a Magenta Sun

She stood still as the world burned soft behind her, the magenta sun dipping low like an open wound in the sky. Her black coat billowed in a wind that didn’t touch her — a silhouette carved from shadow, sleek and deliberate. Eyes the color of blooming bruises flickered with quiet defiance, a kind of beauty that didn’t ask for permission. Her hair, dark as forgotten hymns, framed a face unreadable yet unforgettable. She didn’t belong to the light or the dark; she was the seam between them — stitched from both, loyal to neither.

In the dying glow, she looked untouchable, a vision that felt more like a warning than a wish. There was elegance in her stillness, danger in her poise — the kind that makes silence feel like a held breath. The city behind her blurred into neon mist, but she remained in perfect focus, like a final note that refuses to fade. Whatever story she carried, it wasn’t one she’d tell. But you’d feel it — in the air, in the color of the sky, and in the way the light bent around her instead of through her.
