Ends
The ends justify the means.
A flame blazed and a
scream pierced the stifling air. A tormented sob rang out, the
last of its kind, in silent question. Why?
'For the good of the
world.'
Remembrance seeped
through hollows in mournful sloth. A blink and it was lost again in
cold pools of angry glass looking down at their god.
Steel glinted. One
strike and red flowers bloomed through fabric. Death rattle's
echoing tune drifted through empty halls. Why?
'For the good of the world, Father.'
But who's to say we won't injure our feet if we look only forward.
