27.Coat

He never took his coat off, whether it be in his house or in public places. Nobody knew who he was. Strangely enough, the only thing the people around him knew about him was about his coat, what it was like, what it was made of, how he got it. They knew everything about it, although they didn't know why he never took it of, but knew nothing about him.

They didn't know who he was, what was his name, his job, if he had any family. They didn't even knew what he looked like. The only thing they could remember when they thought back about him was his coat. Even when they tried to get a better look at him, at his face, tried to make out features, their eyes could only see the coat. They couldn't get to his face, stuck on his simple coat as if a spell had been cast on them to force them to look at it.

They didn't know how long he had stayed, they didn't even know at what point he had appeared in town or when he left. But, one day, they all realized that he was gone and that they wouldn't see him and his cursed coat ever again.

It was weird for everyone, but, they all felt as if something had been lifted off their chest with his disappearance.

Time’s up

Footsteps on the pavement, eyes down, eyes forward Are you still looking for them? Where are they? Why haven’t you given up.

No remorse

You smile

 Times up

Look around you Look at them, glancing as you pass them by

You know you don’t belong

You’re not from here

Here, gangs, drugs, clubs reign supreme No place for you

No place for you But you need to find them

Get them back

Revenge has evaded your grasp for eternity,

 Times up

 Walk into the club

heart pounding

head pounding

mind racing

feet pacing  

 All eyes on you

All eyes on you

All eyes

On you

Keep walking, eyes down, eyes forward

 Music low as is the lights

Look around you

You see girls, men, smokes in the air

Then

You see them

 This is it

 Walk to them, all time seems to stop

They see you, and welcome you with a smile

 How

How dare they

Wear this façade

As if they were as innocent as a child

As if they hadn’t ruined all you held dear

As if they had known you as an old friend

 You sit at the table, look around again

Their mouth moves but you don’t listen

Burning

This feeling through your veins

It angers and burns

 You just know now’s your time

 You look down at the drink you’ve been given

You taste it

Somethings wrong

You taste it

You recognize it

Its bitter sweetness

No

It wont happen again

 The pictures of the last time flash

Flash by quickly

The dinner

The drink

The sinking feeling

Her face

The gunshots

  the blood

The darkness

 You know they desired her more than anything

You knew if they couldn’t have her

They’d kill her and you both

 They knew you’d be in more pain still living than 6 feet under

 Why did they leave you

Why didn’t you have the bravery

Why were you such a coward

Couldn’t pull the trigger

Couldn’t end it all

 Their voice

back to reality

Your eyes meet theirs

 You arose

Pulled out the gun

They turned to yell

The crimson elixir that shot from their skull was all that sounded

The bang

The shot

 It’s done

 some people scatter

some stay

 you walk out

 Footsteps on the pavement, eyes down, eyes forward

You found them, vengeance was served on the silver platter they weaved, your soul, may it rest easy, peace floods your mind

No remorse

You smile

Times up
