A little extract from something I wrote...

    
--------- OUR TOMORROW - THE ENDING ---------



     The end of tomorrow is what she was. And here I am standing over her scorched body, laughing at her karma. They soon caught up to her, didn't they? Next to her, a hydrangea spouts from the ground. I bend down and pick the flower from the combusted bloodshed; I smell it. There's the perfume again. I reminisce for a moment and fall into a drunk like a dream before readying myself for such a loving speech. 

          I bellow, 

     The cruelty of our minds directed towards ourselves! I traded my words for your confidence, yet here we stand over our bodies wishing we listened. We are the end of tomorrow, but this ending doesn't have a beginning. Your monotonous fact was potent; still, I kept my actions dormant while you screamed in the back of my head as I lit the final fire. The final fire that eradicated any trace of the oxygen we had left, and instead made room for what we dreaded. 
     You now live and breathe carbon dioxide and it seems I'm on my way there too. As my body lay here in front of me, I shed a tear. This cave I called a chest rusts my metal heart and here, I thought that our tomorrow was worth living. 

I now surrender my remnant of humanity to you. 

I wish to be carried away by you: The Moonlight Shadows.

     For one final time, I look at my skin on the sand. Then, I wistfully stare at the inhumane hand attached to my feuillemort arm. This body isn't my own. My skin is on the floor. And the torture isn't the way I look, it's how I'm conscious after our fiction became fact.  


       Oh, how wrong we were to think, that immortality meant never dying.
