a/n: chewing chewing gum when i thought of this
hoohoo tautology ( oxymoron's twin ) (and pretty freaking awesome)
walking along the street
dark night
whispers in the shadows
a sound
the sonic boom of hearts
thump thump
thump thump and there's a girl
wide-eyed
"please, sir, the m-matchsticks, sir?"
a pause
the decision is made
"get out"
/t...i...m...e..X..s...k...i...p\
"no...no..."
helpless shrilling begins
still out
pacing around the world
"my gold!"
smoke-roughened voices crack
a crack
whimpering and begging
heart breaks
ears burst and door falls
man dies
blankly sees red for real
"thank- YOU!"
recognition dawns while
a smile
is snuffed out like a match
