Velocity Rush
"Before the g l i t t e r, the a s h e s and t o m b s t o n e d u s t..."
Velocity joined the brawl
Velocity had a great fall
All the fine tributes, and all her dear friends
Couldn’t put City back together again.
In the blackness, the monster pleads with me. At first, there aren’t any words, just the tug tug of the marionette strings. With every scattered x, his words become a little more distinct. I hear what is behind the words before they come into focus. Agony. Regret. Denial. You have to wake up, you have to –
I seize
onto the thought, the lifeline dragging me from deepest black to purest white. My eyelashes are a hot sticky mess while the rest of me is cooling to a sticky frozen mess. My fingers twitch with the inane need to brush the hair from my eyes, but I know better than to try. I know what I’ll find there. It is the edge of
nothing.
Ting-ting.
A tiny alarm sounds. Ting-ting. It’s so rhythmic and regular. It’s what my heart should be, instead of an overworked pump. Ting-ting. Such a charming little sound. I can almost ignore it, let myself slip over the edge into endless slumber except –
WAKE UP!
“I’m awake!” I grouse, and then realize it’s true. I really am awake, and the sky is really white, and I’m cocooned in gore. There’s bile at the back of my throat but nowhere for it to go. Nowhere for me to go. I recede, withdrawing from the bright white pain. But there's something warm next to me and not quite whole. “Elverum, is that you?” I whisper when I mean to yell. It's the yelliest whisper I can manage. I wrap fingers around his, squeeze tightly. Ting-ting.
Faces above me. I know they want me to get up, just like the monster wants me to go on, but I'm spent. I am
stone
cold
sober
I once was something. “Kate, can you turn that thing off? I’m so tired…”
