{\|...Silence for the fallen...|/}
XXI.
The ticking of clocks as time winds down from daylight to moonlight saunter. Everything counted downward into the differences that every single moment of light and dark brought us. Detailed in different subjects shall this be told, from the alpha of what a man must accomplish in order to make his exodus out of this world meaningful and worthy of a docile fantasy.There are not many people -- and as it is desirable that a story-teller and a story-reader should establish a mutual understanding as soon as possible, beg it to be noticed that I confine this observation neither to young people nor to little people, but extend it to all conditions of people: little and big, young and old: yet growing up, or already growing down again -- there are not, I say, many people who would care to sleep in a church. I don't mean at sermon-time in warm weather (when the thing has actually been done, once or twice), but in the night, and alone. A great multitude of persons will be violently astonished, I know, by this position, in the broad bold Day. But it applies to Night. It must be argued by night. And I will undertake to maintain it successfully on any gusty winter's night appointed for the purpose, with any one opponent chosen from the rest, who will meet me singly in an old church-yard, before an old church-door; and will previously empower me to lock him in, if needful to his satisfaction, until morning.
We begin...
I have been planning and replanning, writing and rewriting, this next portion of my book for many days. I perceive I must leave it raw edged and ill joined. I have leart something of the impossibility of History. For all I have had to tell is the story of one man's convictions and aims and how they reacted upon his life; and I find it too subtle and involved and intricate for the doing. I find it taxes all my powers to convey even the main forms and forces in that development. It is like looking through moving media of changing hue and variable refraction at something vitally unstable. Broad theories and generalizations are mingled with personal influences, with prevalent prejudices; and not only colored but altered by phases of hopefulness and moods of depression. The web is made up of the most diverse elements, beyond treatment multitudinous. . . . For a week or so I desisted altogether, and walked over the mountains and returned to sit through the warm soft mornings among the shaded rocks above this little perched-up house of ours, discussing my difficulties with Isabel and I think on the whole complicating them further in the effort to simplify them to manageable and stateable elements.
Let me, nevertheless, attempt a rough preliminary analysis of this confused process. A main strand is quite easily traceable. This main strand is the story of my obvious life, my life as it must have looked to most of my acquaintances. It presents you with a young couple, bright, hopeful, and energetic, starting out under the auspices to make a career. You figure us well dressed and active, running about in motor-cars, visiting in great people's houses, dining amidst brilliant companies, going to the theater, meeting in the lobby. The woman, Margaret wore hundreds of beautiful dresses. We must have had an air of succeeding meritoriously during that time.
"Once ago, I was a man of normal delicacy."
The victories over Bedlam with a Broken Dreams DDT for the pinfall for the first time inside of the GWA ring, then add that up to the victories over Lou Wang and Thurston Marshall III to pick up the number one contenders slot for the Falconer title which was reverted to a shot at the Maximus title. Fuck Charlie Dream. Hell, he'll never experience the monstrosity known as corporate screw jobs and people trying to fuck you over at every single stance of a foot. It's only for people who gain status to this claim, Odyssey had it when he had his lackluster Gladiator title reign, Ranma had it with his FWF World title reign and control of television rights. I have it within titles losses and trying to become a champion losses. See the picture?
"Wonders about when the past actually cared for the present - never and that's why we live for only present moments. This is why, we cannot travel backwards."
Shaking his head within their future reminesce inside of the sport, Drake could only stay inside of the bleak existence that is known as black. His eyes are open to that of still photographs. Ranma going through malice through the looking glass, Odyssey going through complete hell emotionally and physically. It was our medicine for their problems, no matter whether or not they were known or not. It was not his problem if they had not seen them upon their cross hairs, leaving the gun on safety not pulling the trigger and ending him for doing so they've proved how much guts they have. If they wanted to end him, they would have, instead of him falling on his face to make an ass out of himself. Drew, it's the truth, closet freaks speak about whatever they like and now you wish everything could have been..different.
"Need I remind the people of what I am? Who I am? They've seen what I've done, and now they get to feel what I speak and not the words of love spread upon the grounds of emotion."
Once upon the time, there was a man, whom of the tongue of the past made everyone change their minds about him. He played the different cards of stabbing and made them change their minds from what they originally had of a mind set on him, to something completely different. They could not contend with him because they could not understand what was he saying. For their intelligence came on limited ears and he ran through them, attaining his spot upon the plateau known as the golden spire and he reigned from the heavens with a pull on everyone's mind no matter how different he was. That came until..a will of passion swept him off of the throne by his brother, a friend, the Angel of Dark. He fell, and on came a brother in the waiting wings, who now art in heaven watching over thou sinned brother as Abel to Cain.
It was a ramification drawn from inspiration. Long time lust drawn upon forth their lips on the day of Valentine and once again, they expressed their love for one another. Drew knew what he was getting himself in towards, yet he held back once more. Something he had done against numerous opponents. Ashram Kenjin, Crisis, just to name a few.Drew had a shot at fame, total and intolerable fame, but he gave that up and rather stay inside the walls of mediocrity. For the sake of his lover...
"Ready for the pain, I am...sacrificing for the generation to come I am not for that generation has not done something to strike something into my soul..."
As it falls from everything I once knew, it's called brain cell loss and right now we all felt it whether we knew it or not. You see, Drew is more focused upon keeping Azul happy. Ranma is focused upon myself, playing the game that we play with the glass tapped to our hands and treat ourselves as gladiators. If only the ego would allow this...
Drake held out his cellular phone standing inside of the middle of a transit subway line, the rumbling of the cars screech through the small hall of lights and cold steel, knowing inside of the barrels of the secondary interior, the homeless live to survive. They try to get sometime as not the homeless, but the pain and hardship of rebuilt takes work, something many do not profess in. As in many Scientologist we know and love.
The voice through the opposite side of the phone is feminine, stylish yet subtle in a way since being separated thanks to the argument is the 5 month pregnant Amy Falan, girlfriend of Drake Maxwell.
"I miss you."
Amy told Drake in their first words to each other in days. Her smile lit up his day no matter how solemn the outlook was, it was just like nothing had happened before the World Tour came knocking on the door. He could only hope by somewhat end of March, they he would be back home, in Detroit with a fan fare and key to the city.
But a man could only dream of that passage.
"I know, but really are you watching the television right now? Look back at everything before I left and how it was different. I was a loser okay Amy? I mean sure the World title of NTICW was a nice treat before it imploded but really was I a good wrestler? No, I mean I could have been placed up there with Hank of all people, but you know what? I bettered myself over here." Drake told her.
"Are you saying that when inside of the states, you are not a good wrestler? That's like saying you're an American Taliban just like John Walker!"
"True, but I'm not a Taliban member, hey what would you say...if I kidnapped an Oompa Loompa?" Drake told her the last part with a rushed quip at the end.
"Say that again?"
"Err, what would you do if I kidnapped a Oompa Loompa?"
On the other side, inside of a blush green colored park, Amy sat on a wooden arm chair bench enjoying herself. She had done something Drake had not counted on her being - looking like Eleanor Hall. Brown sheep skin coat with faux-fur collar and cuffs in a lighter Brown. Under it she is wearing a Black roll neck jumper and a pair of faded Purple jeans with Gold sequinned stars running down the legs to where a pair of Black boots.
"I dunno, with comedy these days, I really don't know what lengths you could go through. Either kidnap a Oompa Loompa or take out your testicles and rub them on Odyssey's head."
An awkward silence ensues.
"Did you just say put my testicles on Odyssey's head? Oh, and I bet you want me to take my ass and defecate in the face of Ranma Saotome." Drake says dryly.
"No actually you fight Ranma and then beat him." Amy responds.
Click went the phone, and then I felt the ride upon the train, as no one spoke and silence lifted through the air like a common dillemia. The spectacle of finding out something new everyday about yourself and your surroundings is remarkable. Now I guess, it where my side ends.
And her's begins...
She felt lost within all of the drama her and Drake had caused and now there was nothing of him there anymore, separated by roads and metal. Objects that once would be obsolete to what they thrived upon. Likewise with love, pain is a devious thing to bring upon the soul. It causes man to do many terrible things, but to woman, it is completely different. Woman takes everything a emotion has to offer and they raise it up notches to make it seem more than what it is worth. She held out a picture of what was then, them happy and a loving couple before placing the picture frame back into her purse and walking out of the park.
It was dawn, the colors of midnight and grey clouds touched the air with a passion, yet she didn't care for nature because of one simple little fight that herself and Drake went through on the most romantic day of the year. It affected her, what was going through her mind, only she knew for some reason. She was conflicted with the sides of remorse and revenge. Immulation of Romeo and Juliet, meeting upon the land in which their love was forbidden, but crossed that path. She wondered what would she do now? Rage or forgiveness?
It was on her conscious not his...that's what made it difficult for the both of them as the scene fades...
