[ in a moment ] by kanseiji Forward and Introduction It's easy to forget that life...even time itself...is just a collection of individual moments. Most of the time, people hardly notice the passing of each one. They tend to notice only the bulk passage of time...each moment hardly registering any change in and of itself. Then one of those moments comes along that catch people's attention. They serve as reminders to all that everything can change in a moment. **** The wind was blowing hard, making everyone cover themselves as it gusted. Adam was walking straight into the gales, doing his best not to look into the bone-chilling wind. One step at a time, he trudged forward...music was blaring in his ears as he tried to drown out the howling sounds around him. I see nothing in your eyes And the more I see, the less I like Is it over yet, in my head? I know nothing of your kind And I won't reveal your evil mind Is it over yet? I can't win So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left I know that I can find, the fire in your eyes I'm going all the way, get away...please You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You've got to fight just to make it through Cause I will be the death of you... ***** "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin Author's notes: chapter one coming up soon.
