This was inspired by the song of the same name by U2… that I heard for the first time in a McDonald's bathroom out of state a few days ago. XD
Well, when inspiration strikes…
I don't own the song or Trigun, so nyah.
I know this is choppy and makes little sense, but I like it the way it is, so I'm not changing it… unless there's a spelling/grammar error.
And here it is:
Original of the Species
He hadn't been a child since before he actually was a child. He never slowed down, never thought on this too long, but it was there, another invisible crack in his china life.
He had everything he could ever want, power, freedom, and eternal belongingness. But the one thing he truly wanted, he knew he could never obtain.
He was the first of his kind, a not-quite-human floating on their sea of filth while twin angels flew overhead. And he certainly felt like it. Should he kill himself too? Or was he different?
His Master orders him through the doorway, and he kneels because he never wants it to end. His Master wants to take everything he had; gleaning from him everything he is and is not.
Everywhere he went, and everything he did shouted only one thing: his unwavering loyalty to the only One that could never care.
His Master taught him well, but there were some things you shouldn't get too good at. He smiled rarely, and only shed one lone tear of reverence.
"Some people have far too much confidence."
So close to the thing he wants, underneath his Master's fingertips.
"You are the last of your kind."
His Master took his everything, twisted it and gave it back as something poison in his soul. He would never be like either side, never squalid enough for death or high enough for ascension.
Everywhere he went, and everything he did shouted only one thing: his love for the One who would never care.
Everywhere he went, and everything he did shouted only one thing: his overwhelming sadness at the hands of his One.
And he feels like no one ever will be. He walks through the doorway, and kneels, for he wants more. He wants the One more.
Master.
