The street that was strewn with litter was totally deserted.

He who was humming to himself walked down the middle of the street

The dark city, that was drowning in the water, died slowly. The citizens, who cried their last words, sunk down with it. the last lights, that reflected the deathly water, died.

Between the barriers a lone car sits, enclosed by the glum fog, waiting patiently for the frozen light to turn green. Beneath the extensively decaying bridge a cold grey river surrounds the remenants of the once inhabited city. Above, lost deep in the clouds of the explosion, a single pig flies in silence upon the building, searching for any sign of life. On the crumbling bridge vigilant soldiers await the unknown, prepared for battle. Within the caged building dust coats the lifeless factory, untouched since the war.

Between the barriers a lone car sits, enclosed by the glum fog, waiting patiently for the frozen light to turn green. Beneath the decaying bridge a cold grey river surrounds the remenants of the once inhabited city. Above, lost in the clouds of the explosion, a single pig flies upon the building searching for any sign of life. On the bridge vigilant soldiers await the unknown, prepared for battle. Within the caged building dust coats the lifeless factory, untouched since the war.

Shuffling down the corridor your heart begins to race. The familiar smell of hairspray lingers around you. You can feel the essence of the audience on the other side of the wall, applauding for the previous number. Every time you have been here you were in that transe. That transe of reciting over and over every single move you have practiced. Right now nothing is more important than this…  

Its show time.

Between the barriers a lone car sits, enclosed by the glum fog, waiting patiently for the light to turn green. Beneath the bridge a cold grey river surrounds the remenants of the once inhabited city. Above, lost in the clouds a single pig flies upon the building searching for any sign of life. On the bridge guards await the unknown, prepared for battle. Within the building dust coats the lifeless factory, untouched since the war.

Regret

That day will always haunt me. The day I chose my friend over my sister. I wish I could just transport myself back in time and save her. Regret remains in me from that day and will continue roaming for the rest of my life. Beyond the darkness I can still see her, trapped. A helpless ray of sunshine sinking deeper, held against her will. I can’t believe I was so selfish as to choose my best friend over my only sibling. “Please don’t leave me here”, those were her last words. Sorry. I thought it was just a casual day until it happened.
