Riddick....

Even after all this time, his name still echoes in my mind when I lay down at night.

Memories of a fucked up childhood, and the murderer who became my Saviour are always there.

As I lay here in the darkness, in the pitch black I've come to ache for, I wonder.

Where is he? Does he think of me? Does he love me?

The thought is quickly scrapped and thrown away. Ridiculous.

We're talking about Riddick for God sakes!

But...the feelings I took with me after we escaped...

Those are undeniable.

Once, years ago...I confessed all of this to a very dear friend.

"How could you love a murderer? A serial killer! "

I've asked myself a thousand times, and always came up with the same answer.

Everyone else is wrong.

The Riddick I saw...and Fry saw him too...

He's not what they all made him out to be.

Murderer. Heartless. Self-Centered. Cold.

Murderer maybe...only Riddick knows for sure...

But those othe things...all lies.

Even an animal has a soul....and his was bared to me.
