When one is standing on the edge, after all is said and done, it is ironic how peaceful Hell can be. Matt centric.
The Edge of Hell
-x-
The first bullet hits its mark, nailing him in the left shoulder.
Blonde hair…
The first thing that comes to Matt's clouded mind is blonde hair. Long, choppy blonde hair.
The second bullet grazes the side of his head, cracking his goggles in the process.
Scar….
The next thought is of a large, disfiguring scar. He can't quite recall but Matt thinks it resides on the face of the person with the long, choppy blonde hair.
The third and fourth bullets make direct contact; one in his stomach and the other mere inches from his heart.
Leather….
Matt remembers leather next. He doesn't exactly know what the leather was used for because his mind is slowly going blank, but he does remember it being black. Or dark brown, maybe.
The next few bullets hit him in the arms, but he can't feel them anymore.
By now, Matt has pieced together an image of someone with blonde hair, dark leather and a large scar in his mind. The persons name eludes him however and he tries desperately to remember it.
By the tenth bullet, his body can't take it any more and falls back, unable to stay up any longer. His vision fades and he can vaguely feel the trails of blood slide down his skin.
He hardly notices his cigarette falling from his mouth because he still can't remember the name. The world around him falls silent, gradually easing the unbearable pain throughout his weary being.
In the last agonizing seconds before his mind shut down, the blonde person in dark leather appears a final time. A word begins to form and with the last of his energy, Matt mentally grasps onto the it and sees it in his mind's eye. It's a name. More importantly, it's the blonde person's name. He's sure of it. Half a moment later, as his last breath leaves his lungs and his mind fades to black, a barely-there smile graces his too pale face.
He dies happy.
'All because of...'

My first fanfic! I hope it wasn't too bad. Also, I don't own Death Note from here on out. :)
