For My Soul Alone
Description
Kihyun volunteers for the elderly outreach programme, to act as caregiver to those whose families were no longer around or unable to care for them. His first client is Mdm Jeon So Yeon who reveals that she is an immortal disguised as an elderly woman. She shows Kihyun around her home and her personal entourage if servants, giving him a chance to use only one to save his mother.
Foreword
You will be the bearer of all good things,
Guardian to Humanity,
condemned to stand still through time
With the urn of your sins.
Carry your pain
With no place, no mortal
To offer you shelter
from the doom of your own making.
Pandora.
Author's Note:
This is an entry for the writing competition: What’s Your Number?
I'm quite surprised at myself for coming up with this. It is loosely tied to the fairytale Pandora's Box. Wish me luck tackling the fantasy genre.
