Choice
Sweet Blessed Silence
Darkness
Perfect and almost complete
Life is wonderful
I become larger each day
And wonder what I shall become
And what shall be the end of me
Over there is my brother
I can sense him in there and
It seems as if we two having separate bodies
Share the same soul
What's this?
It's shiny and bright
It's moving around
I don't know why it is here
It looks interesting
It might be fun to play with
But I can't get over to it
Oh well, I don't need it anyway
All I need is my brother
And my mother
I can't wait to meet my mother
I wonder what she looks like?
I hope she loves me
I already love her
Oh my goodness!
Oh no!
Something else is here and it's bad
Very bad
It's coming towards me
I can't escape
It's going to get me
Oh God help me!
It's moving away from me
I'm okay
The monster left me alone
But oh no!
It's going after brother!
Brother, get away!
Do something!
That sound
That hideous sound
It sounds like it will suck everything out of here!
No!
No!
No!
No!
It can't be!
Brother's not moving!
He's gone!
I feel it within me!
He's gone!
The bond is broken!
How can I live without him!
How?
All that remains is brothers head
And now another monster is taking that away
What was brother going to become?
More to the point
What will become of me?
Did they decide to let me live or did they not notice me?
Or will I be next?
Or will it be you?
