Cero
They called it a disease because it fit the description.
Harmful. Dreadful. Awful. Painful. Terrible.Those were a number of synonyms to describe it; yet, it never did match one word entirely as it poured over my being, over and over again until there was nothing.
That's what I was—nothing.
I basked within my thoughts, thoughts full of aimless theories and dreams that had no destination or significance.
"Snap out of it! We're taking you to the clinic this instant!"They believed that a doctor alone could cure my sickness. But this was not a sickness, this was an abomination. A war within oneself, a war between spirit and complacency.
"We've all gone through this, Luna-san. You'll see, you'll prevail, just like we did."Religion was neither an escape nor a cure. It was a vacuum, a vacuum built by the cunning hands of corruption that sucked in all of the benevolence and hope that fools mindlessly provided.
"You'll see."My sight was gone at this point, obliterated and mauled by the insecurities of my thoughts as my head spun in an effort to regain any form of semblance from disaster.
I'm worthless.I wasn't blind to my reputation.
I knew of it and I embraced it, only leaving the security of my ragged apartment once in a blue moon to see the lights. Sendai's lights.
There lays a miracle within those lights, you must have faith."Excuse me." A simple sentence it was at the time, but as I turned and met his eyes; we both knew it wasn't simple, and we both knew that this—our encounter—was no mere coincidence.
Fate is either a win or a loss. It's a game, after all. It was fate—and fate had no restricting dogmas or customs. Fate was fate, as free as the name sounded, and as he grabbed onto my shoulder for leverage; I smiled.
It had been three years since I had smiled.
Ok so I know I published this a while ago, but here it is. The copy that will stay here permanently. If you're wondering why I unpublished just message me. It's a mess, lol. Anyway, thank you all for reading even if it is just the prologue; I appreciate it. Please look forward for the following chapters that will come along (I have nine so far). Thank you all and I hope you enjoyed!
