*Might as well be dead...* « Thread Started on Dec 22, 2005, 11:18am »
Believe what you want. This is not who I am. But what you made me...
*Giant form of Grim wandered though the Ruins, looking for the company of the dead. His mother, His father, His best friend, anyone. At least the dead couldn't be affected by his 'curse'. He couldn't kill them again. Sighing, he knew they wouldn't come. As the snow fell down around him, he stood alone in the middle of Main street in the Ruins of the human city...*
*His eyes filled his anger. It was all Chill's fault. He could kill the powerhungry coward. He knew he could. So why didn't he? He puffed out a mighty breath, icy steam curling from his nostrils. He could kill Chil... He could kill Chill...*
*The he chuckled and shook his head. How many times had he excited himself like that? It seems every week he plotted Chill's death, his own revenge. But what would the point be? Chill was popular, and killing him would only mean he'd have a bunch of Chill's loyal followers chasing him, trying to kill him. It would be a waste of a time. The only plus would be that he could take his dear brother to death with him...*
*Well now he'd gotten himself thinking. Would he be better off dead? He chuckled dryly, knowing the answer. Probably. No one would miss him if he died anyway. He didn't have a friend in the world. And it was probably be a good thing. If he made any friends, Chill would get one of his goons to kill them, that way he could continue the rumor of Grim's curse. And that wasn't a risk Grim was willing to take. He'd allready gotten both of his parents and his best friend murdered. That was too much bloodshed for the stallion allready, he wasn't going to give Chill another chance to hurt anyone close to him...*
*He looked around him. There was a bridge, conecting the two sides of the city split by the river. It was high off the river. How easy would it be for him to run and jump over the edge, crashing into oblivion. No one would hear his screams of triumph for escaping his brother's pursecution. No one would even care...*

*Grim shook the thoughts from his head, looking around him at the bleak and dark city streets, amusing himself with thoughts of humans who built the strange formations. This place, abandoned by all, and haunted by those long since past, was as much home to Grim as anywhere else. It was sad that a creature of the living's only company were the dead, who ignored him most of the time anyway, and his imagination. The latter was what humored him now, and soon the streets were lit to him, and bustling with the two-legged creatures, dashing from sparkling building to building, oblivious of the giant horse in their mitsd...*
*Walking down the streets, Grim looked about him. Each building was glowing with different colored lights, and each was new and clean, not busted and dirty like he was used too. He stepped gently around a young boy chasing a ball down the street, and darted out of the way of a car, snorting at the strange monstrosity as it roared past. Shaking his head, a strange and melodic sound caught his attention. Pricking his ears, he became mesmirized by the sound, moving steadily closer. There, he saw the source now...*
*A group of people stood on a decorated platform, singing a beautiful song that Grim could not understand. Focusing, the words became understandable to the ebony stallion...*
A long December, and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin' Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think you might come to California...I think you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean..I guess I should.
*Eyes closed, he let the words swirl around him, just like the snow, that seemed so much whiter and more vivid in his imagination. Opening his deep mahogany eyes, he sighed sadly. Only a dream. The platform had long since collapsed, the work of some vandal from years past, and was covered with dust and snow. Turning his head, he looked down the street. It was the same as before. Windows broken, doors ripped off their hinges. And the streets were as lonely as ever. The only thing the remained from the world he had just visited was the snow, but even that seemed darker...bleaker...*
*But as he hung his head, and made his way away from the podium, he faintly heard the people's voices again, singing the song as they had so many years before. He looked over his shoulder, and smiled. Reality could not take that from him at least...*
*Maybe Grim thought sadly, this year will be better than the last...
