Listen Here

  A tinkling of gold, flecked with delicate shades of pink rippled through the spaces between digits.

  A leftover.

Streaming through his ashen locks, frustration bubbled, a suffocating pressure building from the palms only visible to his conscious clutched around his neck; a deep sigh flowing past his lips.

A lotus; the name she had uttered of the tiny pendant adorned with carefully molded petals.

  What had she said? A flower grown in even the murkiest of places. Such a thing known before the walls, before the giants roaming the uncharted outskirts.

                "Like you."

He chuckled, terse, his lips soon falling. That familiar silence filling his ears. Throwing himself onto the spring laced mattress, a deep sigh ensued, flowing through his nostrils.

Once chilled to the touch, it matched his temperature as it rolled between his outstretched digits.

But why did it suddenly feel cold?

As though a hand, lack of any heat running through their living channels, resting against his calloused palm. Similar. Just as her touch was, comforting him with just the soft feathering of her fingertips.

As silent as a mouse, always by his side.

                "You never said a word, you know."

He scoffed, affectionately at that. Creaks echoed against the walls as he rose from the bed, his icy hues narrowed, eyeing the pendant once again, running the pad of his thumb along its glossy surface.

Why this shit filled world had decided to take her of all people, he couldn't understand. Was the world unknown to the living a utopia perhaps?

Was she happy?

He hoped.

Maybe, she was able to see the stars, the sun, the fluffy marshmallows floating across the azure sky.

"First to get out of this shitty place..." He mumbled, running a hand through his ash tresses.

His body jolted, a chill running along the ends of his spine. Yet a warmth still seemed to encircle him, just as she once did.

Erasing it all.

  Brows furrowed, he turned on his heel, eyeing the barren room.

                "What the hell...?"
