If She'd Only Stayed
Tonight, 100 words on discovery.
The greatest lie she'd ever told stayed with Sarah from the moment she first read it until the day she died. When she'd spoken the words, she'd done so with such bravado. She'd believed them, truly believed in her heart, that Jareth didn't have any power over her. She'd quickly discovered how wrong she'd been for Jareth wasn't just the Goblin King but also her King. No matter how she pleaded or how many babies she offered to him, he'd never come again.
Yet, as she breathed her last, he still watched over her. "Ah, Sarah, if you'd only stayed."
