He choked on a laugh as he watched his own blood pooling around him. He'd fantasized about something like this happening to him for years and so wasn't quite sure if everything he was experiencing was real or just imagined. But, he knew it couldn't have been one of his dreams because Shannon wasn't there and, in them, Shannon was always there.
He tried calling out to her but all he heard was the whisper of her name escape his lips and then the empty silence that followed. Shannon's absence was beginning to anger him.
Where the hell is she, he wondered.
In his dreams, Shannon would always find him. He would be lying on the ground somewhere, wounded and near death, just like he was now. She would scream, drop to her knees beside his body and plead with wrenching sobs for him not to leave her.
With a wry smile he would whisper to her, "I'm finally free from you, Shannon."
Then she would beat her fists against his chest and yell and curse at him, like she always did. It would be his final ecstasy: dying while her mouth screamed his name.
And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave
'Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are
