Drabble 21: John POV, pre ASiP. Sorry, another depressing one. Just in that sort of mood, I guess.
21. Just A Thought
It's at night, when he's laying waiting for the nightmares, that the thought emerges.
Would it be better if...?
Oblivion would be good, he thinks, an end to the endless monotony. No longer suffering the phantom pains, or the uselessness. But another thought follows.
What right do I have?
He owes it to the parents who spent years raising him, to the sister who is the only family he has left, to the lives he has saved and will save. There are so many people suffering, dying, for him to scorn what they cannot have.
So his mind wanders on.
