Work Text:
Running.
Jumping.
Sliding.
Starving.
Gotta find it.
A body.
Heat.
A mind.
I feel it.
A mind. Burning.
Smart.
Gotta find it.
Light’s not right.
Gotta find the mind.
It’ll help.
Knock, knock.
I’ve got it.
I can feel it.
The mind. Burning.
Knock, knock, knock.
Slice.
I’m in.
It’s wrong.
Wrong mind.
Too slow.
Not right.
Need the other one.
The smart one.
Just need you to turn around.
I can see it.
It can see me.
Sky?
Copy.
I can fool it.
The mind. Bigger on the inside.
So much room.
So much food.
So much confusion.
An hour.
That’s all I have.
Gotta get him.
The mind.
The others will fall away.
He will stay.
The pause.
I’ve got him.
I’ve got them all.
The girl knows.
The boy is intelligent.
The rest are fools.
Except the mind.
Gotta have it.
They challenge each other.
Not focusing on me.
Oh no no no.
The mind.
Burning.
Hoping.
They won’t do it.
They turn.
I’ve got him.
I’ve got him.
Clever.
Burning.
Whatever you say, Mind.
I’ve got you.
Closing in.
Almost.
The mind is gaping.
It’s got a hole.
The fear.
It’s torn wide open.
Only him now.
Only him.
Almost in.
Almost ahead.
Few more words.
I’m almost there.
In.
Got him.
Not starving now.
No.
Ahead.
Got it.
In.
Full now.
Fuller now.
His words are mine.
His mind is mine.
I’m so full.
Of life.
I’ve got it.
Help me.
Got them.
The woman.
So simple.
The stewardess.
A threat.
The boy.
Not as smart now.
The fear.
In all of them.
So easy.
So simple.
Burning.
The girl.
Knowing.
The fear.
The fight.
So easy.
When he’s gone.
I’ll be full.
I’ll be free.
No.
The stewardess.
She knows.
No!
Back to dark.
Back to cold.
Back to hunger.
But I can hear the echoes.
In the mind.
The last strands, still clinging to mine.
I left them hurt.
Burning.
And silence.
