First fic, just got done watching season 3 Episode 9 and thought What would I do if I were there? Let me know what you think. Un Betaed.
Let me Be God
"Reese, Carter" I choked out. Blood flowed freely from my chest and stomach. I heaved in my last few breaths of air. "it's been fun" 'Cough' blood flew from my lips with a cough "I've enjoyed the past few months. The purpose. Now I'm fulfilling it." Carter and Reese leaned over me telling me that I was going to be ok. I wasn't. "It was supposed to be you," I wheezed out. "Simmons was aiming for you. But I beat him. For a moment I was God." I choked out the words knowing that they would be my last. "Someone once told me that God decided who lives and who dies." I could feel the blood in my lungs, slowly filling them. "For one moment I was God. I decided. You lived Carter, and I died." The blood flowed as freely from my lips as it did my chest. "I did a good job. I kept you two alive." The blood sprayed with each word. "Tell me I did good, please tell me that I was a good God." As I heaved my last breath I heard Reese say "You were a good God."
A/N: The point of this is not to put a man as a god but to show two things. First. There is a lot more to being god than just deciding Who Lives and Who Dies. Secondly, Man will put themselves on that pedestal and seek validation till the day they die.
I am not a great writer so if someone wants to Beta this and help me out they are more than welcome to do so. Also, you are free to write this insert in full if you want. It's really just an idea that popped in my mind and it probably won't go anywhere. Just give credit where it is due if you decide to use this scene. also send me a link to the story, I wouldn't mind reading it for myself. Thanks and review!
