Original - A Hollow

[serpentine]

Title: A Hollow
Original
Rating: PG-13
Notes/Content Warning: Talk of death and implied suicide attempt. From one of my original universes.

There is a small hollow in me now. My death, my mortality, the thing that made me a human with a beginning and end is gone.

I had wanted it to be the end.

But I was brought back with my death now removed. To keep me alive. To prevent me from trying again. A thin silver needle was taken from my throat, so small for the thing that stops the breath and beat of life.

Unable to move as I saw it flash in the light, Vale made it disappear into his sleeve.

I wondered: what was I now?
