Song Inspired Snippets - Tumblr Posts
Post inspiration from the song “Healing.” by Riley Clemmings. Linked here if anyone is interested!
“I-I really thought I wouldn’t make it out of this one, ya’know? I just gave up, sitting in that dark alley. I didn’t think anyone was going to find me. And if someone did, what would they do? Turn me in, leave me to rot? I couldn’t take that chance. And… and then you found me.”
A hand squeezed theirs reassuringly.
“I couldn’t do anything. Too weak I guess. I just prayed I could trust you. And I guess I was right.” A smile graced their lips, they hiccuped.
Hero gave Villan’s hand another squeeze. Apparently when they left the room to get something for them to eat, the villain had taken it as ‘the morphine controller is free game’ and gone to town with it. Hero reminded themselves to never leave it in plain sight again as the villain went from thanking them to singing an off-key version of an old nursery rhyme.
It was only slightly humorous.
Inspired by the song “More Than I Could Be,” by Danney Gokey, linked here if anyone is interested.
TW: suicide
“I could’ve become anything. I could’ve become a henchman for Supervillain, I could’ve overthrown him and taken his place. I could’ve ruled the city, like a king, made everything better for the civilians who are too afraid to stand up for what’s right.
I could’ve burned this place to the ground years ago, you know? Destroyed it all, back before there was someone to stop me. But you.”
“But me.”
“You stopped all of it. Without even realizing, you’ve made me the one thing I could’ve never been on my own.”
“And that is?”
“Excited,” The villain looked at the Hero, their eyes tired, so tired. “You made me happy. I really thought I was doing the right thing if someone was trying to stop me. But this...” Their eyes wandered over the destruction, the fire, the death. All caused by their own two hands.“This is not it. This is me saying my goodbye, Hero.” And they could only watch in mute horror as Villain walked to the edge, and jumped.
