- A Crash-Into Moment -
(Halo (c) Microsoft Studios, Bungie & related creators. Text (c) L.Q. Coverdale. Mentions of violence and death.)
Spiraling downward
Into a mess of molten, crumpled wings
In the moonlight
The end of days and nights
Flood's taint everywhere
Spores floating on the wind
Forerunner legacy, death apocalyptic
Clinging to the barest hopes as the ship goes down
Falling, falling ...
A.I. break and shatter
Mad as March Hare and Hatter
Let it be the end times
And let mercy spare me well.
Terrible sounds of shearing metal
Never as delicate as flower petals
Blood runs down my hand as I am unfettered
Out the airlock, re-entry pack on
I will not fall into silence
No shatter
Last chance at freedom
BOOM!
I sail downward.
Light as a feather,
I am free,
That is,
Until the shockwave and shrapnel
Get to me ...
