This one is a bit short, which is kind of funny because the one I wrote today (18) is also a bit short. I've gotten a bit obsessed with finishing "Zoo Tycoon 2". When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to have games like that, so now I occasionally get really into them, as time-consuming and time-wasting as they are . Thankfully I only have 6-7 scenarios left (about 13 are done, woo!) Do you guys ever get obsessed over silly stuff like this? I can't wait til I'm done so I can focus more on writing and jewelry and sleeping again. I have a bad habit of watching the money counter. Ugh. I must learn to say no!
Thanks to: MissTeak, she gets an entire pie for herself. Where did all my regulars go? D=
14. Seeking Solace
Sometimes, late at night when he could not sleep, Gin wondered if ghosts were real or not. He did not really believe in them, but that late, when the moon was dim and the wind ghosted through trees, he wondered a little.
He fell asleep to those whispers turning round in his head. Soon, he saw golden-green cat eyes losing their soul, dimming to that unfocused death gaze. He saw it over and over again, hearing the piteous cries echoing through it all.
It was his nightmare.
He woke screaming, crying, hating how well he knew it.
All at once, Rangiku's arms were around him, making silly, nonsense noises of comfort. She stroked his back, his hair, as he found reality again, until he could see more than haunted cat eyes.
The thing that scared him the most about the eyes was not the cat's death, but he knew that if he looked into those eyes too long in his dream, he would see his own death. That chilled him more than anything he could imagine.
And on all of those nights, Rangiku was there to wash it all away. She brought life back into him, and held the eyes at bay. Those nights, he was so very glad she was there with him, to hold on to some of this secrets for him. Gin knew she would never betray them; she was the only person he could trust with his nightmare.
I am insanely tired, sleep now. Work tomorrow, ugh. I think I don't get a day off til Sunday. Ew. Ewwww.
Reviews are my sunshine.
