OOC: Dream (001)
It was snowing. Snow? No, that was wrong. He held his hand out, letting some of it fall on him. Grey flakes settled in his palm. Ash. He turned to look, and he was in the husk of a city. The buildings had rotted out, rubble littering the streets.
He heard something, and he turned. Everything went black, and standing there in the dark was a girl, all brown hair and blue eyes, and she smiled at him.
"I knew you could do it, daddy!"
He felt himself smile a bit, and he reached out for her, but she disappeared. A magician's trick. He took a step forward in the inky black, and he heard something as his sandaled foot kicked it. He bent down, pickup up a small gold badge, looking it over, and finally slipping it into his pocket. It was important, somehow- it was something he had lost.
In the distance, there was a light, and he walked toward it, the light growing more and more intense with each passing moment. It was a blaze, shaped like a bird, and he reached out for the flames, letting them surround him until there was nothing left.
He closed his eyes and let the flames consume him.
