Everything seemed so normal, but it wasn't. Would anyone else think children playing at the school, teenagers hanging out by Stark's pond, and adults doing their daily business in South Park out of the ordinary? Of course not. But is it?
Yes.
Why? Because the world was devoid of one Craig Tucker. My best friend, my lover, my soul mate.
Dead. Gone.
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Where was I, then? I was lying in a field of paper flowers. The cotton candy clouds floated gently through the purple sky as butterflies of cloth and silk fluttered through blue and green cardboard trees. Music filled the air, and I figured it came from the clouds. But the only thing that mattered was the person that was connected to the hand entwined with mine.
Craig Tucker.
Craig is with me. Nobody else. Just me. He's not dead, silly. He's very much alive. How else could he be holding my hand and whispering things to me that are just for me to hear?
He is alive…
Right?
I smiled at him. I didn't twitch of spazz out here like I did normally. I think the world has finally become perfect…
Until a screech of tires, a horn blaring, and a scream cut short shatter the peaceful air.
I looked around, alarmed, expecting to see blood splattered all over a street with Craig's bloody hat settled in the middle of the mess. Suddenly, something warm and wet grabbed onto my wrist. I looked down at Craig.
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
I screamed. I couldn't stop screaming. I also couldn't tear my eyes away from the bloody and shriveled… THING that held onto me.
"Tweek…" it moaned. "I love you…"
"CRAIG!" I screamed.
I wanted this thing away from me. Then I realized… this was Craig. I kept screaming until the world shattered into an abyss of black.
And suddenly, I bolted upward in bed, sweat pouring off my face.
Then I realized, this has got to stop.
And I know how to.
~x~
The river rushed fast and swift below me. Panic began to take over. What if I hit some rocks and live? What if I do this wrong?
What if I don't die?
I stepped closer so my toes were already off the edge, and I felt all the fear wash away as adrenaline tore through me. I felt so right, so powerful, so… alive.
I felt two hands push me and I fell. It felt more like flying than anything. I somehow managed to twist my body to see who pushed me. I was pleasantly surprised to see Craig smiling and laughing at me, his fingers waggling in some sort of cheerful goodbye wave. Then there was a rush of water, the image of Craig's smile and his silver eyes dancing burned into my mind, an icy feeling, then…
Nothing.
~x~
NOT ANGSTY ENOUGH.
It was way longer on paper. D:
