Please have Pity. . .
By Sephiroth 4000.
Darkness all around.
There is nothing I can do, locked in darkness. Nothing, but wait for the light, which I dread even more then
this smothering dark. I can't do
anything, but wait.
How did it all
start like this? I don't know really,
it seems to have gone on forever. All I
know is that year by year, our number is growing. More and more people come, as I came. People who are confused at first, but eventually settle into
despair, as I did so long ago.
The light
is dreaded, because the light brings pain.
I see many of my fellow prisoners Outside as we call it, but I know they
are no more in control of their bodies then I am of mine. There mannerisms change, each becoming so
different that I can't help but wonder. . .But they act so natural, as I do
too. Sometimes it's just easier to go
along with the story, with the play, to fall into the dream. . .
But I am
ashamed of this, for it denies who I am, and who I will be. For here I am locked into stasis, only
occasionally reverting back to childhood.
As are we all. Locked forever in
this age, never to grow older, or wiser, or to experience any joy, only
pain. A lifetime of pain.
Who is it
who does this to us all? How can they
be so cruel? How can they do this to merely
entertain themselves? For I know we are
all nothing but playthings, puppets, to them.
To be played with until something more urgent comes up, and then we are
deserted, lost, reclaimed by darkness.
And if we should die. . .well, that doesn't matter to them. A quick press of a button will resurrect us
back to pain. How can they ignore our
pain, our humiliation, our misery? It
is not right. I am supposed to be a
hero, and yet I can do nothing. I have
no hope anymore. . .only despair. For
no one will ever have pity. . .
Oh, please.
Have pity, for I am. . .a Final Fantasy character.
Author's Note: A short parody of my "serious"
stories. Inspired when I got very frustrated
with some of my fanfics (curse writer's block!) looked back on what I had
written, and discovered it was pure drivel.
ARGH!!!!!!!! Sometimes I get so
melodramatic it isn't funny. No one can
be so deadly grim. . .and as for the dialogue. . .well, you don't wanna
know. Thanks for reading, and the
e-mail address is Sephiroth_4000@shinra.org
in case you wanted to write. Heh.
