an excerpt from "Lamentations of an Icarus - Part III" (ca. ten years prior) -
“Dude, why are you stopping?” Trace asked with a small laugh, hoping in vain to disarm the issue with humor. “You’re almost at the top. You got like twenty feet left.”
“I’m sorry,” the boy said, firmly clutching the handlebars. His youthful voice was straining to stay composed under the mounting pressure. It was much akin to a shrill, warbling sound about to splinter a fine wine glass. It was only a matter of time before the right frequency was found, and everything would fall apart. “I just can’t. I can’t do it.”
The stoat could hear it in his voice. Tyson was drowning. He’d let go of the wreckage, and his body was slipping under the waves. If Trace didn’t act now, the boy would be swept out to sea by the vindictive currents of misery. So Trace did the first thing that came to mind. He embraced the young boy before he’d sink to the bottom like so many forsaken shipwrecks.
“Some days I wish she really did die back there. She’d be dead and I could get on with life, and everything would eventually get better. But, more than anything, I hate myself for thinking that. Even for a second. I hate myself when it gets that bad, but I’m not sure what else to do. Isaak. Naomi. They don’t remember her at all, and I don’t know why. I feel like I’m going crazy thinking about a girl everyone says isn’t—wasn’t—real.”
Let me tell you a story/
About you and me in those days/
How much passion and joy/
We shared/
How often we turned back time/
Let me tell you a story/
About you and me in those days/
When we felt as if we/
Could change/
The whole world with just one wave/

Once more, I can't take the credit for this work. All that praise should rightfully go to
aerokat. I can't even begin to say how much I love this piece. I'm very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with her again. I absolutely love the end result of all her hard work and effort. Seeing somebody with talent draw my characters is always an absolute thrill.
