Chapter 1- Broken Wings
Nothing

There is no place for me

No one

No dreams

Running his calloused hand through his messy brown locks, the young veteran continued to watch the sunset.

No life

No hope

A rogue, that is what I am

Loneliness, my only companion

Red and orange burnt the sky; colours of passion.

Nothing can fill this gaping hole in me that has grown so deep it is consuming the remnants of my soul that the war was as kind as to leave behind

I had nothing

No joy

Feel nothing and you would get hurt

They said I could start over, become a real person

My knowledge of life is limited to death

Reach for the sky, they told me; nothing is beyond your grasp

My wings were slipped long ago. I can't fly. Never knew how anyways, so what's the sense

There is none

Life is non-sense. Everything and everyone is confused, that is what brought about wars

I have no use now

I have fulfilled my destiny

How do I know? I feel out of place. Taking up too much room. I'm in the way

Life is cheap, especially mine

The sky becomes darker, and the red and orange is replaced by the subtle colours of indigo, navy blue and a soft pink to mark the sun's exist.

Will this gun in my hand close this growing hole that has now become apart of me? Or will it make it wider? No. No doubts should enter my thoughts. They interfere with the mission.

Maybe that was what my life was

A mission

It felt like that. I can finally end it

The dreams. The cries of evil, mercy, desperation. . . will no longer torment me

I will be free from this messed up life. I will claim freedom.

It's so easy

Down the barrel of this gun is my destiny

With the disappearance of the sun, darkness settled over, and shadows stretched. Dark red liquid spilt on the green carpet, which now embraced the owner falling into obscurity.

Mission Complete. . .
