Author's Note: It has been way too long since I uploaded anything to this account. I write so sporadically nowadays, it's really a wonder that I have anything to upload at all!
Regardless, this will be a miscellaneous collection of drabbles: most of them (if not all) were submitted as challenges to LiveJournal's khdrabble.
HONESTLY I doubt anybody will read these, but, here they are for you. (:

reality is only a lie in the mirror

We have found you.
They hiss at him in hushed laughter, silver gnarled fingers sprouting from the earth to grab at his heels, laughing in high, screeching barks. Pavement crumbles to gravel burns to ashes under his feet; the sky melts from blue to twilight to blue again. Technicolor waves ripple into the horizon, yellow sparks bursting when he presses a hand against the wall, as if his fingers are grinding against it like stone.
Roxas thinks he hears muffled cursing amongst the static, watching the train shift to palm trees dissolve to white noise splattered across the ground.
Pence might call it a computer glitch, if it weren't reality.
Temperature rising.
Unclaimed dreams play across his eyes: a splash of red hair, lifeless on the floor. There's a phantom pain in his chest, and he's falling backwards, backwards, down into chilling darkness.
There is no time. Commence system shut down.
He gasps for air as he runs, but each breath chills his lungs, and tastes of burning plastic. Trees collapse behind him, exploding into smoking sparks and flames.
White noise lumps under his feet. Roxas trips.
And falls right into Sora's heart.
