Reality

 Disclaimer: I do not own Torchwood or any of it's characters.
Setting: Post-Cyberwoman.

Author Note: The prompt is 'Reality', as you can see below. This short prose just came to me and I just wanted to get it out of my mind (so I wrote it). This is part of what Ianto is thinking sometime after the Cyberwoman incident. I hope you like it, please R & R (it makes me very happy =) ), well-constructed criticism, suggestions, and tips are welcome.

I first wrote the shorter one but then I added more. I didn't know which one I should use so I have posted both. Please, if you review, tell me which one you like better. Once I get enough opinions, I will leave the one that people like the best and remove the other one. Thanks =)

Reality

Love, lust, anger, sin, trust; jealousy. What do those words represent? Happiness, satisfaction, pride; hope. What do they have in common? Life, truth; existence. What do they mean? Love, lust, anger, sin, trust, jealousy, happiness, satisfaction, pride, hope, life, truth, existence. What are all these words? Reality. That's what it all is -- what life is-- full of pain, sorrow, betrayal and hate. If that's what life is, then why's it worth living, through all the pain and misery, why does everyone --Jack-- give no mercy? Why doesn't he just kill me now? Because Jack wants to heal him, make him one again --trying to mend a soul that's broken beyond repair. Why can't he see? Why can't he see I'm broken beyond repair? Why won't he just kill me, get it done fast and quick and put me out of my misery? Why can't he just let me be? Because he loves me.

Author Note: Please tell me what you think. I really would like to know if this one is any good at all. Is it cheesy?
