[keiko-kirin.livejournal.com]

The next flashfic challenge is this quote, suggested by karavila:

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night. -Shakespeare, Sonnet CXLVII

Flashfic is 100 to 1000 words, but longer responses are allowed. You may also post drabbles (exactly 100 words) in response to the prompt. Challenges run for two weeks. This one will end on 3 August 2015.
