I found this '100 Themes' list on Tumblr and decided to give it a shot. In case you are unfamiliar, here are the rules, at least that I am following:
Focusing on a specific character or pairing, a short piece will be written for each of the 100 Themes. Each piece must be no more and no less than exactly 100 words in length, excluding the title. (I added a slight twist to mine, which is each of these pieces must be 'unhappy' in nature.)
The character of my choice for these 100 Themes is Ryou Bakura.
Disclaimer: I do not own the original story, characters, or anything related.
[Introduction]
A classroom full of stares, of watching eyes. The soft feel of dust on his fingers as the white chalk scrapes against the blackboard, spelling out his name for the thousandth time to a hoard of strangers. Again. He turns to face the room again, the mask of a pleasant smile on his face, brushing his pale hair out of his face, listening to the new teacher introduce him by name, as if the students couldn't read it for themselves. He bows to them, like so many times before. "It's nice to meet you all." The same words as always.
For those who care, I have temporarily discontinued 'Iridescent.'
Thank you for reading!
