Wingless: Humanity Part I
Because, as a general rule, angels have wings and aren't green, but there are always exceptions.
Prologue
A Nightmare World
It was cold and dark and everything she'd been told nightmares were made of.
And she was scared.
Scared of the nothingness that pressed in around her and threatened to swallow her whole. Scared of the cold metal she could feel beneath her pressing into her back and the strong somethings that held her down on it. But most of all, she was scared of the voices and the lights that came and went, visiting her at their own leisure, poking and prodding at her to please themselves.
They never spoke to her. About her, yes, to each other, throwing their voices across her prone body as they stood by her, one on her left, one on her right.
They came at the strangest of times. Sometimes when she was sleeping, sometimes when she was awake and sometimes when she was neither. Or perhaps, it was just that her body clock was completely off and they came regularly; morning, noon, night. Anything was possible.
They were coming now, she could feel it in the air. A gentle breeze stirring the cold air that whispered a word in her ears; outside. She wanted to be there. She wanted to believe that it was a word that meant something more than simply 'just not here'. Deep somewhere in her heart that had yet to be drowned in darkness and fear, she hoped it was true.
Now there were lights, dim at first, playing on the edge of her vision like the few stray rays of light that came just before the sunrise. And then they were glaring down on her, angry and bright, burning at her eyes. She clenched them shut.
Next came sound. Foot steps. Click, clack, click, clack.
She pretended they were the footfalls of puppies playing in a grassy meadows. She had a strong imagination.
For example, next she pretended the steel blade that touched her skin was the warm kiss of sunlight and the unconsciousness that soon followed was falling asleep in under a shady tree on a lazy summer's day.
Haha so here we have the beginning of my TMNT Fanfic Trilogy; 'Humanity'.
Firstly, I just want to say, yes this is rather abstract, BUT it's the prologue and it's not all written like this.
Secondly, thank you to Phoenix (PhoenixWhite1120) and Kitty (IDreamOfFantasy) for reading over the (rather long) planning for the trilogy and giving me some very helpful feedback.
Thirdly, thank You for reading this. (And hopefully reviewing it? *hint hint*)
Also, this is my fiftieth story on ! Today is a day full of milestones for me =) Aha and what a good story for my fiftieth! Oh boy is this gonna test me as a writer or what. Haha honestly, I've very excited about the whole thing and am really happy to finally be past the planning and into the actual writing.
Again, thanks heaps for reading, I hope you decide to keep following this story!
