【自留】Fallen From Grace by V(22)
"My father…" I say, before taking a deep breath, "Forced me here." I finish, as I exhale.
"tough break." The voice says, "I won't ask why, seems like it hit ya bad enough." I stay silent as we start walking toward the light, following the voice's luminescent blue. "say…" the voice goes on, trying to keep a consistent mood while we walk, "knock knock." I don't laugh, but look complacently up at the blue flame.
"Why-," I start to say, before I wheeze back out. "Who's there?" I hear a distant low-pitched chuckle.
"nana." It says. My legs still ache, as my hands sting in the absence of nails to protect them.
"Nana who?" I ask.
"nana your business." I clench my teeth. I gradually exhale from my nostrils, and muster a pathetic smirk. "hey, come on, that was funny." It says. I don't respond. "too soon, huh?" We keep walking in silence for a long time after. The floor of the cave starts slanting upwards, but I feel my feet lifted almost daintily over the rocks, as the blue flame follows by my side. As we climb, moon-walking on the rocks, the voice pipes up again. "y'know," it says, "my family's not so 'there-for-me' either."
