Love Story
I close my eyes
And the flash back starts
Happy endings don't come to their world often, overwhelmed entirely by tragedy. War, mutation, horrible things happen to harmless people. People who have never done anything wrong in their life, except maybe act a little spoiled and spend their days wishing for acceptance and nights wishing for rest.
Lovers die, far away from the helping hands of anyone who could save them. The reaper comes for souls with terrifying frequency, and for every one he takes by force, two will follow voluntarily. Maybe they do not know each other, but they live on the peak of the ripples.
So, when a woman is murdered by her dearest friend, maybe another is finally pushed past the final boundary, and takes her own life. And maybe that makes her lover insane, stops the words from making sense, until the only thing left to do is kill something, anything.
Maybe that lover blows up a building, because it seems like such a good idea, but then, all those children are left without parents, and maybe they grow up hateful of their world, but certain of their frailty. And maybe one of them is supposed to grow up strong minded and powerful, but maybe she doesn't, because daddy is dead.
So, she should have helped lead the revolt, but instead, it dies in its infancy, and nothing happens like it is supposed to, and the fates are in a tangle, and suddenly things that don't exist do.
Things that aren't real still hurt, so much. More than anything that truly exists.
"Horatio, pretty timekeeper, see what you have done to us all?"
Maybe the rest of the world keeps moving, but for at least one soul, the universe comes to a screeching halt.
