Luster

I’ve seen it before. Jordan never took it off. I’ve just never been made to feel afraid from seeing it. I always thought it’s silvery glow was like a small beam of sun light powering my universe. A ray of hope. Besides Jordan’s presence, the silver Heart shaped locket was something that always gave me reason to move. Right now, though, it is the most frightening thing I have ever seen. The red gloss that was applied to it somehow transformed Jordan’s symbol from a piece of hope to a despairingly grim spike of panic and loss.
