Disclaimer: I don’t own PB.
Notes: A double drabble plus one for the wonderful
pamalax. I have absolutely no frigging idea where this came from. Mahone doesn't talk to me. He doesn't like me. Probably because I don't like him. But he knows how much Pam loves him and how much I love her, so we called a truce for about as long as it took me to write this. So this is for the
Mahone Fic Athon and for the
pbhiatus_fic challenge #4 - To Err Is Human. I hope you like it. I hope I *got* him. *crosses fingers*
He doesn't want to remember.
But it's all he can do.
He can't not remember that moment.
It replays behind his eyes on some constant loop. Haunting him. Taunting him. Driving him slowly insane.
He's not a well man. Maybe he never was. No, he was. With her and him. He'll never get that back.
That little piece of sanity, of normalcy, of living life free from pain, regret, and loss hanging onto him, draining him. A goddamn gorilla on his back.
As it plays, he can even smell the blood. He can even taste it. He tasted death. He can feel the warmth leaving his body. That had surprised him. A man like that shouldn't have been warm for he was evil.
He doesn't want to remember any of that.
He especially doesn't want to remember the regret he felt.
Regret not for killing a man, that man. No. He would never regret doing the world that favor.
No, his only regret is that he killed his life. He could never go back home to her and his son. He could never pretend like everything was the same.
He doesn't want to remember how he destroyed that slice of peace.
