SHOWYC challenge entry :3

Hello everyone, this is Moon! This is my work for the the show your creativity challenge.

Living through the ash

She didn't belong in that world.

Not with her cracked voice and shaking hands.

Not with the way she kept planting seeds

in soil that hadn't seen rain for years.

He found her after the thirteenth purge,

kneeling beside a child's grave,

humming a faint lullaby

no one had the right to anymore.

He should have walked away.

He should have let her remain untouched

by the filth that lived inside his skin.

But monsters are selfish.

And he was tired of sleeping

without dreams.

She never asked about the things he'd done.

But she looked at him

like he wasnt made of broken teeth and hollow orders.

She touched his hand like she didnt know how many lives it had ended.

And God! He loved her for it.

With every ragged and corrupted piece of himself.

When they came for her,

she didn't cry.

She only looked at him

like she already knew.

Like she'd always known.

And still .....

she smiled.

Like he was worth dying for.

He tried to scream,

but no sound came out.

He'd used up all his voice

shouting orders that led others to die.

They didn't let him bury her.

They burned her like a waste.

Like she hadn't been the last warm thing that ever held him.

Now he walks in the ruins

with ash in his lungs

and her laugh

rotting in his memory.

He doesn't speak.

He doesn't sleep.

He forgets his own name sometimes...

but never hers.

They thought keeping him alive was punishment.

They didnt understand.

He died

the moment she stopped breathing.

Everything since

is just an echo of her remains.
