Just so you know how these drabbles are written or if you want to try this yourself, feel welcome to do so. What I did is I put my i-pod on shuffle and sat down with a pad of paper and a pencil. I listened to the first 30 seconds or so of the first three songs. Then, the song that gives me the best idea I listen to the whole thing, trying to compose a short story if you can even call it that. Lastly, I play the song one more time during which I write the drabble. I think once or twice I cheated went a little past the length of the song.
Okay then, first up is drabble written to the song "Will the Future Blame Us?" about James after his parents have both just been murdered by the death eaters. He's been very brave through out the war so far but now he's at his cracking point. His hand has been left dangling as he reaches out to grasp something solid; answers and more importantly, reasons. The lyrics that were the inspiration for this drabble are after it. Lines that are "bolded" are the main source of inspiration, if you care.
Disclaimer: I do not own the "Harry Potter" series or "Will the Future Blame Us?". But seriously, are you really that thick to believe that I did?
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, REVIEW IF YOU CAN SPARE 30 SECONDS :)
Song: Will The Future Blame Us?
Artist: Our Lady Peace
Album: Healthy in Paranoid Times
James pounded his fists against the wall, angry tears pouring down his face. He walked in circles in the room, his insides screaming. This feeling, he couldn't express it or filter it. He couldn't dilute it or direct it. It consumed his very being like a fire sent from hell burning through his straw soul. He'd never noticed the ceilings were so low.
This war.
He couldn't cope.
He needed explanations.
He needed a reason.
They were dead. His parents were dead.
Are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it I
But I've been stumbling down this long and winding road
And these times are changing
And it's complicated I
Well I don't wanna know
And I ....
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore
And is it getting better?
Can we live forever I
And I'm not sure what the hell we're fighting for
And does the money make us?
And will the future blame us I
Oh I don't wanna know
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore
When you're tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home
When you can't take anymore
When you're beat up and ignored
Come home
The sun's inside a hole
The faster you don't know
A long, long way from home
There are things you need to know
The answers leave you cold
You're a long, long way from home
And the summers coming back
And it brings a second chance
If you're not part of this
Then I don't wanna know ...
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore
And I ...
Don't ask why anymore, anymore
When you're tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home
Oh when you can't take anymore
When you're beat up and ignored
Come home
I'm coming home
Well there it is hope you enjoyed it. Please remember to review, it would make my day. I'll update soon.
