A/N: This is another remake. I hate the original, sorry. And a word of advice to EVERYONE! Always save your work every other minute or so...my computer just restarted itself, announced, and I just lost like a half page of my remake. I thought I was going to punch through the computer screen. I WAS PISSSSSEDD!


Asleep With One Eye Open

-Intro-


Murdoc's long, sharp grungy fingernails abraded his temples. He weighed his options. He could stay here, surrounded by one large blue mass, yet, Russel was a problem. Murdoc saw the colossal size of his former band mate, still, he wouldn't stand a chance. Murdoc could run, yet, that would uncover the underlying reason for his rendezvous to escape to this place. The Black Clouds. No-good pirates who wanted to murder him. If Murdoc left the island, there would be a strong chance that those pirates would catch him. Head hanging back, Murdoc drew out the last of his cigarrete, sealing his eyes shut while letting his thoughts swirl around in his brain. Murdoc leaned into the bright cornflower blue wall, pressing his cheekbone against it. His eyes lured himself to take in the sight of this beautiful evening. All the pinks, blues, and oranges mixed together in harmony, creating different luminescent hues that we would call a sunset. That very sunset, set off a cast over the sea, causing the blue water to become more opaque. His eyes strolled lower to the neon pink beach. A bright salmon color, that became a bit dingy at the shoreline, with all of the debris that adorned it. This scene almost set Murdoc in a peaceful hypnotized state.

"Sir?"

The sudden interruption caused Murdoc's hair to stand on end, breaking him from his trance.

"What?"

The petite cyborg humbly replied, "I found a woman out on the shore."

"Noodle?" He thought to himself.
