AN: This little plot bunny just wouldn't leave me alone so I decided that I would write it and put it on Fanfiction for your viewing pleasure! This is just a little introduction chapter, the next ones will be longer! I promise!
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note sadly... all the characters belong to either Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi Obata, or NISIOISIN
Gazing out between the cold metal bars of my jail cell, chewing on my thumb in thought while watching the lives of my fellow inmates pass by. The guards leading them past my cell repeatedly, their red life spans hovering over their head as a constant reminder.
Death death death, that is what flashed in front of my eyes unceasingly, not letting me forget that all people are meant to die. Perhaps that is why I could never fall in love, always seeing their life counting down every second, the pain would be unbearable. That is, if I could still feel emotional pain, if I had not long ago given up my emotions to become like L.
Maybe it is better not to feel the emotions that plague the average citizen, not to be so vulnerable to my surroundings. Although I miss the happiness, the joy I could feel before, even if it was only for a little bit while I was not looking up at the ticking time bombs above people's heads. Those rare moments of complete bliss made life almost bearable, made it almost alright that I could see the deaths of all my loved ones. Almost. Perhaps the pain is what made me insane.
AN: Lots of thanks and love to my beta, Blueberry-Valentine. Any one who reviews gets virtual cookies!
