A/n: erm... not sure why I keep putting this here... probably just due to habit... ah well, on with the story!
Memories
pt 6: Empty body 1, Sunday
No one notices me as I walk among them,
but I know I am there.
Unlike before,
I can feel the press of bodies.
I approach a black man,
the father of the boy who is to be taken.
I try to tell him his son is in danger
if he leaves the island,
but he tells me I am wrong.
I tell him not to set off the flare gun
when they see the first ship,
to wait for the second.
He tells me I am crazy to say that,
why wait for the second ship
if there may not be one?
I nod sadly and walk away.
I do not know if he'll listen,
but I suppose he won't
if what I saw before was true.
The raft is not ready for a week.
I spend my time in the jungle,
looking for the mysterious monster
who will take the man.
I hear its clockwork mechanics,
its whistle, its stomping,
but I never see it.
The week goes by
and I wonder what is happening back home.
The drug-addict-father-figure
gets a haircut, writes songs.
The french woman comes,
and I know it's almost time;
I can feel it.
I remind the black father
of when to fire the flare gun,
he shrugs me off, saying he'll remember,
but I know he won't.
When a group goes for dynamite,
I silently follow.
A/n: people mentioned: Michael, Walt, Locke, Charlie, and Danielle. basically ends mid-way through 1x23: Exodus 1. I feel smart with my episode guide, but if it's annoying, I'll stop. seriously, just tell me these things! and I'm working on the next part, I've just been busy with finals and school stuff.
