Maker of my Madness
It was happening again. They were coming. There was nothing that I could do. The fact that I could do nothing only increased my rage. The impending pain made me weap even before it came.
If I believed in any god I prayed to him now. I begged him for mercy, for forgiveness, for anything except this. I envyed those dead, jealouse of their fate.
It started. The Shinra were running in. Raiding and destroying the town. They said that it was because of a rebel group. I didn't know if it was true. I didn't care. All that mattered was that they were killing.
We were talking with the elder. Barret and me, when it started. Some soildiers ran out with machine guns. They opened fire. The elder was shot. I couldn't believe my eyes. People die. I knew that, but I still could not comprehend what my eyes had seen. "You killed him!" I wanted to shout, but I didn't.
The next few minutes were in a blur. The soildiers opened fire. I could feal Barret grab me. Swearing not to let go. I don't know anymore if thats a good thing anymore.
Then she came in. The maker of my madness, the demon of my nightmares, the devil of my soul. I hated her. The flame of rage burned in me like no other. It raged and grew untill it burnt everything, untill it became the very core of my existence.
Then it happened. She blasted the cliff. The end result was that both Barret and I lost an arm and passed out. I'm not sure if that was a bad thing, either.
I lost everything in that fire. Everything in knew. Everything and everyone I cared about was gone. The pain in my arm was nothing compared to that agony. I wanted to die. To end it all. There was nothing for me in the life of the living. Nothing but one thing:vengence.
I was mad. Mad at myself. Mad at Shinra. Mad at all the people of our town, and then mad at myself for being mad at them. The anger only brought more pain, and the pain only drove my lust for revenge. So I drank in the sweet agony.
"You failed them Dyne," the nightmare spoke. "Failed them all. Everyone and everything that you held dear is destroyed and its all your fault. Their dead. They all cursed your name before your death."
"You've been haunting me to long!" I yelled. "Its time that we settle this!"
"And how do you propose to do that?" she mocked. "I am eternal. I've come here every night since your accident. I've haunted millions. Appeared in infinite forms. I am invincincible."
"If I destroy us all, you'll die," I snarled. "I'll be free. One way or the other."
That was the only way. The only way I could think of. Monsters were everywhere. Shinra, SOILDIER, and everyone. The world wasn't fair. It would be a mercy, a mercy to stop the pain and suffering.


It was over. I could feel the bullets rip through me. There was nothing left to say. "Barret, don't ever make her cry."
I was going to die. I didn't care. The reaper couldn't come fast enough. "One way or another," were my last words as I fell. "I will be free."
