I don't want to set the world…on….fire…
The first mutant loaded his rifle.
I just want to start…a flame in your heart…
The second grunted as his minigun jammed.
In my heart I have but one desire…
They made their way slowly up the hill, making very little noise. Jack's Pip-Boy continually played the song as Alice lay sleeping on Jack's chest, Jack asleep on his cot.
And that one is you, no other will do…
The first mutant entered the cave, without a sound and turned on his flashlight, searching the room for his jackpot.
I've lost all ambition…for worldy acclaim…
The second turned on his flashlight, aiming his minigun towards the couple, sleeping on the cot.
I just want to be…the one that you love…
The first one found the stash of weapons and bullets. He grunted, waking Jack.
And with your admission that you feel the same…
Jack slowly slid out from under Alice's grasp, and stealthily creeped up to the weapon stash, grabbing his combat shogun. He aimed at the mutant with the minigun…
I'll have reached the goal that I'm dreaming of…
He reached the goal he had been dreaming of, as the mutant's head separated into fragments. The only remaining mutant turned around and fired blindly, hitting Alice in the leg.
Believe me….I don't want to set the world on fire…
"JACK!!!! Shit, my leg!" screamed Alice. The mutant continued firing, shooting a few bullets into Jack's right arm and leg.
I just want to start…a flame in your heart…
Jack unloaded his shotgun onto the other mutant, ripping his body into shreds. He crawled over to the medical crates, his leg shot too. Alice was screaming in pain, and his world became blurry. The pain suddenly hit him, and hit him as hard as a train. He collapsed under the pressure of trying to remain conscious.
I don't want to set the world…on….fire….
Jack was scared for his life. He had never been shot before. The world around him became darker and blurrier, and he felt weaker and dizzier. He was tired as hell, and all he wanted to do was go to sleep. But, if he fell asleep, he could die. Instead, he tried to crawl again, through the blurriness toward the medical crates.
I just want to start…a flame in your heart…
He grabbed on to the side and pulled out bandages and hydrogen peroxide. Slowly working to patch himself up, he got another wave of pain, this one too great to handle.
"Jack! Please……help….." said Alice, her voice fading out of hearing range. Everything seemed numb, everything seemed quiet, except for the music. The music was loud and clear, and it scared the hell out of him.
In my heart…I have but one desire….and that one is you…..no…other…will…do…
Then, the music started to fade.
