Do you not cry?

Incomplete

"When the sun warms you, and the rain slowly evaporates from the ground, leaving a fresh scent of spring in the air - Do you not cry?" A smile graces her features as she speaks - welling, indicative of tears, shows in her hazy blue eyes. She stands atop a cliff, her hands delicately clasped behind her back as she leans precariously towards the edge.

Why would I cry? You wonder, your own hands inching forwards, ready to catch her should she lean too far. "Why?" You finally ask in a soft, caring tone.

She turns as though to stare at you, but she merely gazes through you. "The beauty of it..." - her whispered reply, sparse in words, decorated with a sad smile. Turning back towards the ocean, she clutches her left hand to her chest, holding her jacket closed against the chill breeze that danced across her.

You smile at her innocent adoration for the world - the beauty she sees is different to the desolation that everyone else does. When she lost her sight, it was before the destruction, and the death. Yes, the sun still shines, and warms you - Yes, the ocean still sprays it's mist - Yes, the scent of Spring still hangs in the air, tantalisingly wonderful. But none of the breathtaking scenery remains - nought but dust lays in every direction - small patches of grass struggle through the drying earth.

She sighs, lightly, happily, before taking a step. Onto the cliff-edge her softly placed foot lands. A gust of wind plays across her face, stirring her gentle curls. In spite of her lack of sight, she leans backwards slightly - she is far from unaware of her location.

"Come back... Please," You reach forward, your hand ready to pull her back. "I don't want you to fall..." You smile, though it's unseen, and carefully reach up, tugging at her jacket. "Please mummy..." you add with a worried frown.

Tilting her head to the right, smiling, though blankly staring as though at the ocean, she takes her step back, and reaches out for your hand. "I'm sorry, darling," she looks down at you, her unseeing eyes full of emotion. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay, mummy... I know you just want to see the sea..." You whisper, your youthful, boyish voice barely above the sound of the wind. Pulling at her hand once again, you lead her away from the cliff-edge, back towards your home-camp.

2009-06-11 [Chimes]: Is this post apocalyptic stuffers? :P Have you been playing Zombie games too much?

I like it so far. Need a little bit more before I can give you advice though :P Since I'm not entirely sure where you're going with it.

2009-06-11 [Duke Devlin]: You cannot play zombie games too much! D: And yeah, sort of. :)
I am adding to it now... So hopefully, you'll see some sort of change. :)

2009-06-11 [Chimes]: That's true. Rob introduced me to Left 4 Dead yesterday... watching him and Devon play it is actually hilarious. "ROB SAVE ME! AHHHHH!"
Rob: Throw a *name of flaming thing* at her, she'll like it.
Devon: *does it* *Witch comes up and attacks him* YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SHE'D LIVE!
Rob: I said she'd like it... that should be some indication...

Awesomes. :)

2009-06-11 [Duke Devlin]: MOLATOV

XD Hahaha those two are retards. :) It's an amazing game, no? :D

2009-06-11 [Linderel]: MOLOTOV, n00b!

2009-06-11 [Chimes]: Molatov? Molotov? O.o
I still can't see where you're going with this :P You're good... it's making me wanting know more. :P << Wow... I sounded like I couldn't speak English there.

They are, yes. And yes, it is. :D
Another quote: Rob: Don't run behind me with fire!
And another... Devon: ... Now... where are the cars....

2009-06-11 [Duke Devlin]: XD I couldn't recall perfectly. Close enough eh? ;)

Excellent. >:) That's the aim of writing. >:D

2009-06-11 [Duke Devlin]: After a conversation with Ryan, where he was being mean, we said we hadn't had a tank yet;;
Ryan: Well I hope you get one, and it KILLS you!
Pip: BRING IT ON! But when we kill it I'm gonna pretend it's you! =]
