The Last Domino~
Heero glanced out the window, looking at the depressing day slowly turn
To a depressing night. The rain lashed at the window, adding to the gray-
like
Feeling that had overcome almost everything. As he watched the rain roll
down
The pane of glass before him, he felt very much like he was running out of
time.
He blamed all of this on a force that so far was unseen; that so far was
unknown.
He stayed awake through all of the nights and felt as though a hundred
voices were Calling out to him from the darkness. He tried with all of his
might to pass them
And sink into an easy sleep, but the latter never came. He would let his
mind slip away
And it would land on Her, making him wish that She was lying next to him,
so he
Wouldn't feel so lonely, accompanied only by the glow of his soft lamp
which he
Kept by the bed. He once again asked the unanswered question: Why him?
Would
He ever be with Her again? As he trekked through proverbial empty room,
saw lonely
People, watched pointless violence, and stood alongside silent tombs. And
again, he would ask: will I ever be with her again?
He pulled the sheets up to his chin to help guard against the chill of the
cold night's air,
But he could still hear the sirens from the city through his window. With
a bitter thought, He realized that though his sheets could keep him warm
from the air, the chilling sounds
Had no way of being stopped. For the sounds chilled his very soul, causing
many of the Nightmares which haunted his dreams so, and all the while he
would wake, screaming at The top of his lungs, asking over and over if the
nightmares would ever give way to Dreaming about other things...Like Her...
He snapped awake yet again, realizing that his torment was probably going
to last
Forever. He slowly fell back to sleep, where yet another chilling vision
crept into his
Mind: he was standing in a lone circle of light, embracing Her as tightly
as he could,
Praying that the moment would last forever...
The daylight streamed into his room, but the cold had finally overtaken
him. The hope For him was gone. All that remained was an empty shell
called Heero Yuy. And so
Went the cycle, until his dying day...Always in the glow of the night.
