Dropped off home stitched

bandaged

refused pain pills

heck of a day

hell of a finale

to sit back

this battered leather sofa

and just enjoy silence...

box from rose

had gloves and a vest inside

both a mix

kevlar

titanium

today just a taste then?

eh rose

the teacher and others gifts

cookies

sweets

cards

letters

thank you girl of blood

thank you girl of rage

goddess of fists

angel of hope?

that made me smile

that day another place

random hell

i just had the thought

survive

or anger?

my first battle....

the first rush

of mindless adrenaline...

huh my phones ringing

"nya nya nya"

yeah hi lio

cant sleep ?

yeah just game

or exercise....

yes i said exercise

push ups

hit something

relax...

wow didnt know u had such a mouth on u

such words .....

heh good night lio

take my own advice

well i would but

when your arm hurts flexing a finger

best to just game

tv on

i become a nobody in a blue jump suit

a vague quest possibly in that direction

or so the quest arrow says...

time passed

sneaking

frozen time shots

to...

too...

the smell burning wood

air thick

hot

screams

my knees hurt

did i fall?

ears ringing

wipe my right eye

fingers red looking down

move girl

MOVE!

through a door

full shoulder near the lock

corridor empty?

what where?

voices muffled

foot falls getting close

blur of motion i spun

elbow making contact with

something..

heard a crack

a thud to the floor

someone face covered

bandana

ski goggles

they groaned

i stomped there face

more voices

run girl....

still no one

turn after turn

into a stair well

some one quite far below

peering over the rail

fuck you....

leaping down

my fist to their skull

damn that hurt

shaking right arm

the body cushioned my fall

run on

run fast

kicked open 2 doors

maybe 3

no flames

but quiet

run on

another in my way

behind crashing

maybe a roof fell in

didn't look

my back was hot

run forward

grabbing a metal rod from the ground

ceiling tile chunk still attached

the masked person surprised

or i hit them well

gah and grunt

body hit the ground

feeling so nauseous

through another door

the cool air

a welcome wall

staggering

into an e.m.t's arms

just the start of a dark day....

eye opened

on the floor

tv was on stand by

console as well

every where hurt...

no fire?

just a dream

a dream...

i taste blood...

bathroom called

my cheek stitches where weeping

a thin stream of blood falling

reaching both lips

cant be bothered to change my uniform

as rough as it looked

even though it smelled

half an hour to make food

get the bus

left the house locking the door

toast in mouth

crisp and soda cans in bag

silent vow made

im sleeping all weekend....
