My love. Like a dream it had faded long ago.
Those I've loved are gone, I haven't felt anything since.
Thier bodies only grow the pillars, while I walk.
Though the darkness someone called to me.
"Hey you!"
I saw a dark skinned man like myself, hunched over sat in trash.
"Where do you think your going child?"
For a moment I had almost forgot but I answered.
"I'm looking to be away.. from the towers." 162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcIY9A0BEo
The man broke into a coughing fit as it turned into laughter.
"Ah, child the towers are unending. It's worthless to try."
I stood in silence, frustrated that it was so hard for me to talk. 162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bsvgBK5rN
"Child, don't you know scripture? We are meant for this, unworthy of existence."
I was unable to move, only being able to mutter.
"Who said that?"
"Faithless child. Since the Lord deemed us sin. The pillars have become the world. Your trip will never end, its pointless."
As I tensed up my anger slowly gaining control, but with a deep breath I realized it was despair that sprouted.
I couldn't see his face but he was smiling.
"I saw your rage for a second. Child, Don't you want to destroy them? The pillars? Those up there?"
The faint glow from above flared up for just a second. I quickly looked to myself, revealing my battered body.
"The creator, and those above are responsible for everything... Our lives depend solely, on what they do. We suffer due to them.."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm37Fub2DT0
The slouched man chuckled. 162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcMgQCrVPw
"That's right child. They have made the fact, that your only worth is growing thier pillar and misery? Doesn't it enrage you?"
"Yes... it burns within me. My body is testament to that. I want to kill them, destroy the towers with all my being! For my loved ones."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07K2Sc3Bd6
"So, why keep walking? Let it all out, let them feel the flames. Burn it all down!"
I had held it in for so long, It was making me scared. I was burning up, I fucking hate them! I couldn't stop shaking.
"Slash the tower! You beast! Y-you?"
The Man paused in shock. From my dark face could be seen a tear streaming down. Then another, then more. I couldn't help but feel the quiet sadness within the blazing rage.
"Old man. Even with all this rage, I don't have the strength to weld it. I have to do something else."
The man looked down.
"Though our rage is justified, our saddness laid bare. I strive for an end to these things, never wishing it upon anyone"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMjbqUKVZ6
