Stumbled upon a writing prompt about villain's last lines, so decided to give it a try. |
(it is more like a poem though.....and it is a bit bio related. Studying biology messed up my brain....also i just need your thoughts. since it was just a writing prompt) "They labelled me a deadly virus, not knowing i was dead inside They said i fed on others, not knowing i was just trying to survive They sent a hero--the antidote they found--to kill me They cheered for him while cursed for me But I saw the hypocrisy hidden behind their words Had their antidote--the hero they forged--failed to destroy me They would have discarded him as a failed tool So I chose to die for i saw the life burning inside him While i was cold with only the smoke of embers inside me After all, What use was there for a deadly virus to cling to a corpse? It was finished. The antidote has won and the plague has lost Yet was the gratefulness of the people, the cheers of the hypocrites worth it? Was it worth seeing the flicker of fear --that hint of life-- in those eyes? Was it worth watching that shine of humanity in the labelled monster glow dimmer? Was it worth being haunted by those lifeless eyes for the rest of his life? No. the truth was, the hero had lost the battle. He didn't defeat the evil: the villain has already lost hope He died --hoping to save the burning fire of life inside the hero Yet his death released a river that would forever extinguishes that fire" |
