The Visitor

Lit Up — November’s Prompt: 55er

“Hello, old friend! Your Past has come to visit you.
You’re looking older than I remember, hopefully wiser too.
You seem surprised to see me here today,
after the last time you said goodbye.
You thought you’d defeated me, right?
I’ve got news for you.
I’ve got an ace
up my sleeve.
I win.
Checkmate.”
