;; claire, didn't know where she was. or maybe
that was a lie, her own two feet carried her
here. but how could she explain it someone?
she would sound crazy. she would describe it
like a coma, or the act of passing out. she
saw glimpses of what she was doing, in fact
she saw most of what she was doing. but,
there was bits, and pieces, she simply
could not recollect.
this, was the day after her mother died.
it wasn't so much as grief as to what
happened to her mother. it was shock.
a shock, that left her unable to control
her mutation on any level. in short, she
let it, take control of her.
in the beginning the voices were mere
whispers, that escalated into voices,
which then heightened into screams
and cries.
it wasn't claire's fault, her
mutation, always found the horrid
memories in people; because they
tend to cry the loudest. you tend
to remember pain better than joy.
it felt as if claire was reliving these
horrid memories. it ranged anything
from abuse, to grief, from death to
the dying. it was pure misery.
and there was no way of escaping it.
she was on a road, it was twilight with and
the sun was looming through the emerald
trees. claire was walking along the edge of
the gray pavement. even if she herself had
returned, the voices were still lingering in
her head. it looked like she was trying to
get away from the city, but their cries were
still as clear as the rays of the sun.
but the memories continued to play
themselves out in her head, draining
her of the energy to walk. claire couldn't
take another step, and crashed to the
ground. she lie there, unblinking, eyes
sunken into her skull. she curled up into
a ball, and began sobbing. she was
terrified, piled on top of the mental
torment, claire was in a sea of pure
anguish. and, in all honesty, she
didn't know what she was going to do
but sit there and cry.
[ help me, please. ]
silence.
