BAM! BAM! BAM!
That dastardly tune clobbered the back of our heads. Shook us to our hollow cores. The ring screeched in my ears, pierced my flesh, was there any way out? So dizzy, blood boiling, dry skin violently flattening. This beat echoed in my dusty mind.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The sun flashed in our eyes. Red, red was all we saw. It covered our boiling bodies. Our hard flesh, it begged to stop. But that decision was not up to me. This tune, unwavering, unending, only got louder and louder. Cracks happened under this new transparent skin of ours.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
My pumping heart left its cage. The taste of branded steel was not lost on me nor my other parts, melding us together into one. Burning pain seared my bones achar. Not able to hold in our chorus. Our sharp opera. A magnum opus of pain as our voices shattered to itty bitty pieces and reflected back into the light.
That was when it happened.
BAM!
BAM!
…
It stopped. Like the oceans froze over. The icy air so still. Not a sound, so empty and dead, is this what it's like to be free? I couldn't breathe, no not even sing, it felt like I was being choked. Not even my heart beated inside its cage. So I guessed it wasn't so bad.
I glided so frictionlessly across the halls and corridors. Leaving only a wet trail in my path. Everything, everyone, scupltures of their former self. "Hello! Hello! Can anyone hear me?" Choked out of me not a sound. Not a single sound. I skated down the halls, thinking about my past song. Featuring my new world. The doors open, and a new glow bashes me. Soulless, frozen, static, a world I never knew of called out for me.
Colourless
Songless
Painless
It was a dream come true. No more bludgeoning, no more banging like a drum, an icy palace of silence just for me! I never felt so happy before.
I never felt so…
Frozen.
