Confessions

So I had the opening to this Drabble floating around in my head for a couple days and decided I needed to get it out so here's the results:








I’ve killed a man.



Actually, I’ve killed hundreds of men, thousands even.


Wide eyed dreamers, fighters, leaders. All sorts, from all walks of life.


Violently at first, then silently smothering them. Now I just lock them away and let them slowly wither, like candles being snuffed out. No more shouting or struggling. You can see the light slowly leave their eyes as they realize and accept their defeat.


Each of them a part of me. A part that had reached the end of it’s life, an end to the greater good and the ultimate end goal I hope to achieve.
