the rain began to fall. warm air cauising a light mist to appear. looking up i saw nothing. rain falling on my face. running through my hair. looking up. blank eyes. darkness. my eyes close. screams. my eyes open as a shiver passes up my spine. the rain stopped. clouds part. a full moon glares at me. encompassing the whole area with light. empty faces surround me. i am being pulled in every direction. i scream but smoke comes out of my mouth. everything glows red. where ever i look shapes become red and the faces whither in pain. i laugh at this site. looking up the sky is also red. looking at my hands. they become red. artificial. it hits me. then i smile. begining to understand. i drop to both knees. holding my arms up from my sides. staring up. i yell. it comes out this time. everything around me begins to shake. a bulding near by crumbles. screams are muffled by the debris. i keep yelling. more buildings and houses fall. turning to ash. i look up again. the moon stares back and begins to weep. then it falls apart. ten thousand pieces float in all directions. i stop yelling. stand up. everything is gone. no signs of anything. except piles of ash. a breaze comes. smelling of the sea. the ash is whisked away. i hear whispers in the wind. a tear begins to fall from my face. moving down my cheek. bulding up it drops from my chin. i catch it befoe it hits the ground. and laugh. no more tears. no more sorrow. nothingness. the laugh turns to a smirk. then the mirror appears. i see myself. naked. my eyes glowing red. then i yell. everything flashes before me. childhood memories. first kiss at the dance. grandma's funeral. everything. the visions are gone. and so am i. to nothingness. .................................... i shook her awake. she was crying in her sleep again. her cheeks were wet. she must have been crying for an hour before i woke up. i drew her face in close and whispered what needed to be heard. she half smiled and laid her head back down. i dried her cheeks with my hand and kissed her forehead. there is no comfort in knowing i couldn't protect her. i wasn't there. but i am here now. it doesn't mean much though. damage was already done. yearning to help but coming up short. ..................................... this is completely random but i think i always look kinda pist in pictures.
