From the shell to his mechanically mastered core he chose to accept the fact that feeling would one of his greatest mistakes. In his bygone life it had merely lead to undesired endings of a species of pain that, whichever, he wasn’t strong enough to continue from or wasn’t just a grief, but had an accord of it’s own along with a contracted ability to cling and grapple with no intention of letting go. Peace was out of the picture.[/strike][/color]
A mind that could not rest, anymore operated with an imitated manner relating to a machine or AI more than a human brain, was a mind on the brink of many things. Insanity was a break through as much as any break through. Sin was in need of both. But he wasn’t going insane. By fact he believed himself to be one of the sanest students, and beside that, the most boring. The brink of living. The brink of dying. Creating a humorless, blissful, state of nothingness and beginning.
He was on the threshold of paranoia and potentially losing himself.
Of people and their neo-masochistic habits, of people, and himself. He being the most unstable factor, and people holding, and suffering the consequences it was a paranoia of [and for] lives.
He was trying to get rest without sleep, and if he did sleep who knew where his dreams might put him next. Forgive me for my misdoings... Sin allowed himself to recline to the extent of resting his head against the rough side of a tree. Both eyes vanishing beneath dark lashes as his banes flittered away from the recently aware azure and placid white beholders. But these be nightmares… Of blood, and darkness, pf oozing prints splattered across the walls of his wavering subconscious.nightmare | ˈnītˌme(ə)r | noun | a frightening or unpleasant dream
That’s what the books said.
They wrote it out to be so… simple. Bland. Lacking the life in which a nightmare could hold and the life that the nightmare effects. I was a cheat to make thins sound easy and understandable, and Sin could comprehend why. No need to scare the children. No need to make life seem crueler when their youthful state of mind sees it as fall of fresh surprises, most good, but many remaining unpleasant as nightmare’s definition pronounced it out to be. An unpleasant dream…
Maybe if he repeated it enough, that’s what the nightly dreamscapes of horror would become. Frightening, and unpleasant. Just that. Beautifully, simple.
Or, maybe if he repeated it enough, the definition would simply eat itself form the inside out, outside in. Become nothing. Lose itself. That was about when he began to grow paranoid of not only living things but also words and superstitions. He didn’t want to lose the implicitly, however there was little he wanted anymore. Instead he set targets, but if he thought about then too much, would they implode?
Whatever bug, brink or bother was eating away at him, Sin could only presume as far as it was a problem he created on his own. He found it, caught it, and like a virus it gnawing at the scraps of sanity life left him with. This system… the very wire and core he lived with was being blackened into a useless, dead weight. And now…
All he wanted to do was sleep.
The discomfort at his spine, nor the cold, inflexible earth he sat on could chase away such feelings of weary doldrums. Closing his eyes had been, by far the worst idea, it was only the threat of rain that kept him awake.
It was in the air, that heavy, damp smell, in the murky gloom of the sky, in the obvious thunder bubbling softly somewhere in the direction of the castle, and it was in his head. A forecast of under the weather whims, the slight chance of disaster, and the promise of a clean up post afterwards…
…afterwards…
Afterwards, once he’d greeted the upcoming precipitation like an old friend, once he managed to fight away the foreboding slumber, and once whatever else might come, comes… Afterwards, he’d continue on with his mimic of an android on paranoia and…
Live.
At least, that was what the books always pushed him on to do.[/color][/font][/blockquote][/size]
