In a room with walls closing in. On a beach where a tsunami build. Underneath a bridge that is ready to crumble.

They have nothing and everything. A dark mark and a fragile mind. Curses drip from the tip of his tongue and they narrowly avoid her. Screams tumble from her mouth and they drag him in.

Nightmares. More nightmares. Green lightning and wild white lifeless faces, the husky voices threatening her life flash under his eyelids. Piles of the dead, dark marks and childhood traumas force her awake.

They hold tight as it closes in, crashes over, crumbles down.

The madness sets in. He kills and she lives. He kills and she lives. He kills and she lives. The voices slice through his mind and the screams explode from his throat.

She squeezes her eyes shut. They snap back open. The harrowing reality versus the constant rewinding and replaying of every single death the saving of her life has caused.

Hollow shells, they cling to each other's every fiber. Barely living, barely breathing, except for one another.
