There it was, ringing in his ears and echoing in his head, decaying his sense of direction and his sight, sending the world into a blurred parody of itself. The song was English, but he understood the words that weaved through him as he ran, bumping into buildings and obstructions in his path. The apparition tailed him, continuing and repeating verses, pausing between each and accentuating that intermission with a sharp click that reverberated through him. Short, panicked breaths filled the air, joining with the song and suffocating him as he raced blind through the streets, desperately trying to escape, mentally yelling for his savior to come and save him again, eventually voicing his thoughts without knowing, adding again to the noise surrounding him. Despairing, horrified, and disoriented he failed to notice the uneven square of concrete sticking out at a slant, half an inch above the others and his foot caught, sending him sprawling to the ground, head striking the unforgiving cement. As his mind fogged and his vision grew black a form hovered over him, red hair and white face painfully bright even as his eyes closed, and the final verse of the song played in his psyche, fading with his conscious.
'Sew him back together with a needle and thread, needle and thread, needle and thread. Sew him back together with needle and thread, my Fair Lady.'

Um... I debated going further with this, but decided not to. It'll more likely than not pop up again when I find an appropriate prompt for it. Eh, this was heavily inspired by an episode of 'Kuroshitsuji.' If you haven't seen it, get yourself to anilinkz . Com. They have all the episodes and it's simply amazing. :D Yeah, enjoy... =3
