Hey guys! So another new project: 25 Drabbles for Ralinde's Drabble Bingo over on HPFC. Here's the first one – it's AU, freeverse, Padma Patil centric. Basically what happens when my twisted mind gets her with the prompt 'The Sealed Letter'. Dark themes. Also for The Not For The Faint Of Heart Competition, Angst Drabble. Jasmine x
The War Is Over
The say that the war is over
But they are lying.
{Lies}
The battle may have finished
But people are still dead.
They're not going to stop being dead.
You hate everyone for it.
{Hate}
Not just those on His side
But the ones on your side too.
All of them have killed
You're sure of it.
People are dead because of them.
{Death}
You ignore the fact
That you've killed too.
If you think about that
It'll just eat you away like
Some sort of
Corrupted plant.
{Corruption}
Everyone feels proud for the
Murders that they've committed.
Even Parvati.
"Come on, Padma," she says
"The war is over."
{War}
You hate her even more for
Saying something like that.
And
That's
When
It
Hits
You.
You are alone.
{Alone}
And there's only one way out.
It's not difficult.
All it takes is
A letter, sealed
And a couple of slits to the wrists.
They say that it's
Quicker than falling asleep
And they're right.
The curtain is closing.
Everybody knows the end.
The Padma Patil Show is over.
{Lies}
{Hate}
{Death}
{Corruption}
{War}
{Alone}
Gone.
