Killed By Beauty
By: Fox
A golden crystal dangles hopelessly in front of my eyes. A pendulum, a steady beat back
and forth. That beat quickly joins in synch with my heart. My heart stays with the
pendulum, the beauty.
It leaves me breathless, controlling. My eyes follow, smooth chocolate eyes, they
show no emotion, only defeat. Captured by the beauty of the pendulum. I don’t want to
close my eyes , to blink would insult this beauty.
I am aware of my surroundings, despite what they may think. All of the doctors
staring at me, they are asking me questions. Disturb me and mock the beauty. Get my
attention? No, I don’t answer them.
Intrigued by the beauty, I keep my eyes locked on it. This is the only thing that
deserves my attention. A colourful array of light exits the pendulum. It chose me, placing
a graceful hand to my face, it’s colours glowing on me.
What!? Taking it away!? No! I won’t allow it! It’s mine. It chose me. My eyes
burn with anger and loneliness as they take my beauty away. Please no, I beg them. But
then, a spark, a fire ignites within me and a smirk appears on my face. My eyes lift to the
ones dragging me, my eyes flaming in my beauty’s colour. I shove one into the wall, no
pain involved, the walls are covered in a padding that makes them soft.
“Let her have it a little longer.†says a voice.
So they give back my beauty. Hmm, its testing me now, clicking faster and faster.
My eyes are quick, I can follow, I will do anything if it pleases my beauty. My eyes are
flicking rapidly to keep up. It’s gradually getting slower now, so slow, so tired. Another
test, I’ll stay awake, but it’s so slow. My breath is short, there is no air.
I can’t breathe.
“Maybe she’s had enough...â€
My eyes keep following my beauty, I have no control. Getting slower and slower.
My heart beats with my beauty. Beat....beat... then... my beauty dies.
