Written for the Gravitation Drabble Meme at tohma_love. Prompt No. 013 – Life.


From the first years of his life until he left school his parents expected him to be the best. Second best was never good enough and so he soon learned that there was no-one to rely on – except himself.

Perfection made him lonely but his successful career made it worth it. He was respected. He was feared. He was envied by thousands. He had everything he could possibly wish for – at least as long as he didn't think about how somewhere along the way he had lost more and more of himself until he ceased to be human at all.
