Disclaimer: As much as I love them, I don't own the Big Daddies or the Little Sisters. Bioshock is ©2007 2K games. This was written to satisfy my own personal interest, though reviews and constructive criticism is appreciated. Please and Thanks.
Fear. In that one instant you can feel it, terrifying in the truest sense of the word. That sharp sudden realization that the one thing you'd hoped would never happen has come to pass. You've failed.
Because of you. That paralyzing shock of fear shifts flawlessly to the overwhelming pain of guilt. This moment feels like eternity and though you know it's your last you'd give anything to have it end. Then all too soon you feel this weight cloud your mind as the frigid darkness swallows you from your shell. It has ended.
Business as usual. Or so it had started anyway. Always the same, never varying. Daddies need ADAM, Sisters get ADAM, and Daddies keep the Sisters. Never mix your business with personal life. Makes for messes.
It's life. Like the three beats of a waltz; these elements repeat and are regarded simply as fact. Ironic though it would seem though, ADAM is life. For those that don't die in it's procession anyway. This is Truth.
Simply business. Most would have you believe this anyway. And most don't need much convincing not that there are many who'd even consider another possibility. Daddies aren't obligated to the Little Ones out of duty; but only act as escorts as a means to their own needs. It's common Knowledge.
This interference. Would it be so strange however, for such a monstrosity to kindle feelings for the little ones? Which are the real monsters anyway? After all, even the strangeness of these abandoned left them attachment enough to nick name their protectors. Mr. Bubbles.
Must be tough. Through all of these complications and almost-formalities, the last thing he'll wonder is of her. "What will happen to her?" As with everything else though, this is just another fact of life; there is no 'save' option for you. Game Over.
Authors Note: This is just a drabble of thoughts. I've often wondered about the possible explanations for the Big Daddies/Little Sisters relationship. Aside form the obvious I mean. And I've always thought the Big Daddies were the more tragic characters. I love them. I hope the next Bioshock installment with give more insight into them. And I had to wonder what a Big Daddy must feel when they die.
