THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.

[mind_blown]

It's all darkness.

The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.

There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.

So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.

And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

"Yeah, it's all, "It's your fault we even have to be like this." Or, "I'm tired of all the arguing, just knock it off." Or, and this is the fucking worst, crazy hallucinations about me dying because one of us's gotta be a fuckin' creep and wallow in it."

You can't see him roll his eyes, but he's rolling his eyes.

"You and me, we see eye to eye. Good luck with everyone else."

[ Talon's going to develop wrinkles before puberty at this rate ]

Luck will hardly be enough, but...I doubt that he can help the hallucinations.

"Maybe."

He turns right.

"But we got a lot to live for now, feels like to me, and I'd like to see it."

[ Keeping pace with him ]

Perhaps you should tell him that.

"You think I haven't tried? I'm that nagging 'what if' voice, and then I get drowned out every time," he says bristling in annoyance as the continue on.
