Pain

-x-x-x-x-

[so sorry]

He knew what pain was. He'd seen innocents tortured; their limbs jerking sporadically, faces twisted in agony. He'd heard their screams; he'd smelled their fear. He'd even experienced it himself; fire coursing through his veins, blood on his tongue.

[did everything]

But the intense suffocating pressure that decimated his heart broke him like nothing else; his shattered soul bled from his eyes; his silent screams drowned out everything, including the barely registered, mournful words from the medi-witch kneeling beside him.

[but]

His beloved wife. Their unborn child.

[couldn't save them]

He thought he'd known pain.

He was wrong.
