First chapter of my first fiction – please read and review.
Song: You Found Me by the Fray
How come you make everything so much more complicated than it needs to be, Petey?
Why does my chest hurt when I can't find you?
When you don't find me?
When I can't see you?
When you won't see me?
Lying on the floor. Sweat prickling on my bare chest. The snowflakes billowing in on the bitter wind that streams through the window you opened.
My blood pulsates in my ears. It trickles from my wrists.
I need you here with me, Petey.
I want you to lie with me on the cold stone floor.
Die with me, if need be.
Tell me what I need to hear.
"It's alright, Gary. It's going to be okay."
But you aren't here.
I'm screaming your name, tearing at my scalp with bloodied hands.
My sanity is being ripped from my soul. The two entities are separating. But I don't want them to separate.
I don't want us to separate, Petey.
Where are you?
Where?
Please come find me, Petey.
I'm getting cold.
The tile underneath is turning red. I'm lost. Lost. Come find me.
Where are you, Petey?
You can't find me.
Why?
I couldn't see you if you were here, anyway.
Hellish red stars blossom. They explode. They fill my vision with blood and death and loneliness and horror.
Come find me, Petey.
I want you to find me.
