Fic: Observations, Ch 243
Time.
In bullets.
Ten thousand.
Keep counting.
The hours.
The shifts.
Keep passing.
In bullets.
Remember
In bullets.
In blood.
In nightmares.
In sleep.
In(separable.
Ten thousand.
In bullets.
Time.
So slowly.
Exhaustion.
These feelings.
Purge them.
In bullets.
In(sanity.
Tomorrow.
Time.
Keep fighting
This breathing.
Ghost laughter.
My hands.
Keep shaking.
Uncounting.
These bullets.
Heart beats
In bullets.
Ten thousand.
Per minute.
The screaming.
In dreaming.
Suppression.
No feeling.
The doctor.
His scanning.
His patience.
Is damning.
My hatred.
Irrational.
My hands.
The silence.
Time.
Compassion.
Is human.
Is Terran.
Is alien.
So foreign.
Jim.
In bullets.
Is silent.
Is sorrow.
Is anger.
Keep living
Is grief.
Come tomorrow.
Time.
In bullets.
Stop counting.
The heartbeats.
No safety.
Ten thousand.
No sorrow.
No feeling.
No safety.
Tomorrow.
No bullets.
No time.
