Xenogears and all related characters belong to Squaresoft, and not me. I just like writing about them ^_^
A Long Way Till Morning
Poor Billy! I got the idea for this poem from a side note in Xenogears where Billy casually mentions that while he was struggling to raise Primera on his own, someone offered him 3,000 dollars to sleep with him. I think Bart's response was something like "Woah kid! There are some things you can never get back!" And then he goes on to say that if he is ever that desperate for help he can come to the Yggdrasil, etc. ^_^ cute little scene, but it got me thinking..... That's always dangerous. ^_^ If you would like to comment/critique on this piece, email me at: aerinn@hotmail.com
A Long Way Till Morning
"Tomorrow..." She said I could giver her my answer tomorrow I lie awake staring at the ceiling and think about it. The worn out bed creaks and moans under me echoing my stomach. Every day, the plants wither the paint peels and everything falls apart faster than I can fix it. "I will give you 3,000 dollars for one night." she eyed me between the potatoes and the melons at the market I came home mostly emtpy handed from. 3,000 is a small price to pay for someone's soul. But it would buy a lot of groceries. In the darkness, my guns glint reminding me of all that I have lost. I reach out and run my fingers down their cold, reasurring length, and a thought crosses my mind. I have had it a hundred times before. My fingers pause on the twin barrels. I have felt their cold hard weight in the skull dent behind my ears and known the peace they could bring. I look to the still form in the bed next to mine. I can hear her breathing, steady, slow. If not for her I might have ended it all long ago. I shift restlessly, thinking again of the woman in the market place and her offer. I can feel her hungry eyes on my arms, my face. I shiver from more than just the cold, and my stomach stops moaning long enough to tie into hard knot. "Tomorrow..." I lie awake, staring at the ceiling. She said I could answer her tomorrow... ~Rachel Fox~ '00---------------------
