Author's Note: Yes, I should be working on ROBC or Autograph right now, but this idea just came to get me. Enjoy! Or, don't… I mean, you really don't have to… It's a little dark…
This is William Sloan's brief conscious moment before succumbing to Bill Cipher. It makes more sense if you read Numb, but you don't have to.
Um… I hope you like it!
I watch the flames as they dance
Across my fingertips like tiny demon angels
If that makes sense…
I watch my body twist and writhe
Contorting into something
You won't recognize as human
I guess because I'm not
What happened to you?
What is left?
Yes
I lost my mind
So hold your head high
And let it burn away
I'm dancing with the demon
In a losing battle
There is no escape
It's sharp and it's painful
Funny to tell
About my very own personal Hell…
I can't control myself
I am fading away
The part of me
The part that's me
Is lost now
Playing with fire isn't for children
15 years
Far too little, far too long
So hold your head high
And let it burn away
I'm dancing with the demon
In a losing battle
There is no escape
It's sharp and it's painful
Funny to tell
About my personal version of Hell…
Lost in the shadows.
