well … this is just something I wrote out of nowhere due to boredom and current mood <.<
——————————–
A reflection in the shadows
Is it just an illusion?
For you are the one I seek
Holding you close, I can’t breathe
Dance in the rain, fly away
rotting away, leaving everything behind
Please let me be by your side…
Let’s sing and spread the love to the ends of time
show me the meaning of living in this world
Be there always …. within me
Tonight, I wonder if I could be gentle …
pulling you closer like threads on a web
Is love like this wrong? Does it hurt?
Becoming one with darkness
sacrifice mingling with blood
Let’s make a toast
to your dreams … to your darkness …
Until your tears dry up
… goodbye

ok .. so the day started out normal as usual. I wake up, check out the happenings on my laptop, then go downstairs to eat breakfast a few minutes later. as I get ready to leave for work, I turn on the TV for a quick second to see what is showing … and as I turn it on, it begins a “breaking news” broadcast and mentions something about world domination. I look all confused and say to myself “Ok…. oO whatever”. I then head on out to work, only noticing a note on the front door that reads “Hello, I would just like to inform you that this GameStop will explode at (given time) and there is nothing you can do about it. Please have a nice day.” again, I have the oO-like look on my face and I tell my co-workers that since no one is coming into the store, that I might as well leave. then. as I turn around getting ready to go on my way, I feel a powerful gust of wind blowing down onto me and as soon as I look back … . … . .BOOM!! there goes the GameStop. >.>
I then start to roam about the city and all of a sudden I see hordes of people running around screaming their heads off. so then I walk up to a random person and asks them “hey, what in the hell is going on, exactly?” .. they reply by saying “haven’t you heard, all of the GameStops and EB Games stores are blowing up one by one!” so I begin to think to myself if this is what the world domination thing on the TV was referring to earlier. afterwards as the crowd calms down it begins to rain. now, seeing as I am walking about in the soaking rain, I notice my friend sakura sitting on a rock playing around with her umbrella hat. I go up to her and ask her about these happenings, and she just told me to take this umbrella hat of hers to keep myself safe from the rain. I then thanked her as I continued on my way towards who knows what. And as with any new toy I get, I don’t hesitate to play around with it … and I discovered that it has a 20-ft long retractable pole that holds the umbrella portion at the top. then as everything gets quiet, I begin to feel another gust of wind, though much greater than the previous one, and then felt something knock me in the head and realized that the umbrella portion of my new toy was taken away. it was none other than the giant crow from Zelda: Windwaker, though it was 10x it’s normal size, that had taken it away. then the bird makes a quick landing in front of me. he looks down upon me … and that can only mean one thing ….. BATTLE TIME!
(enter ‘Black Mages - The Rocking Grounds [Final Fantasy III]‘ music …)
I quickly jump towards the bird in an attempt to hack away at its facial armor, only to be attacked by its wings followed by massive pecks to the stomach. As I fall to the ground, a shining glow of dark light begins to surround me. it was time to use the limit I learned from out of nowhere, Tri-Attack. I quickly get on my feet, power up the attack, and then send the bird flying into what I like to call oblivion.
*Final Fantasy victory fanfare* (after the battle I just pass out without notice)
The next morning. I begin to wake up a bit only realizing that I have been brought into someone’s shed. I look around all confused……
