Ruen

The estate pond after midnight. Ruen sat on the low stone ledge at the water's edge. Her white dress spread across her knees and the stone. Her long silver-white hair fell past her waist and onto the stone. Both hands rested on the stone and the hem of her dress at either side. Only her bare feet and ankles were submerged. The full moon and white flowers were reflected in the middle of the pond. There was no wind. No one had told her to go in.
