Flash Fiction Friday: Unwanted Friend

            Nothing had happened in almost two days, and Michael wondered if at last his new friend had found someone else. Just as he thought it, however, he saw a familiar shimmer of light. And there was his brother. Then a scream.
            Dread flooded Michael’s chest. He leapt over the terrace railing and onto the ground below, running toward the fallen form as fast as he could. He was too late.
            “You killed him!”
            “Now you can be king.” The light shimmered and danced. “You’re welcome!”
            “No! No, this isn’t what I want!”
            “Isn’t it?” The ball of light bobbed. “Oops.”

Eesh. This one just makes me feel sad. Talk about an insensitive friend! I wonder what gave the light-thing the impression that he wanted his brother dead?
