Challenge: Scream
Title: Listen Closely
Word Count: 113
Notes: Cookie if you can guess who the hell I really wrote. =P But it's vague and open to a lot of interpretation.


It’s the shrieking that awakes him. Haunting, splitting, spectral voices that send ragged shards of glass through his chest.

Curled up on one side and eyes clamped shut tightly, he struggles to take gasping breaths of moist, moldy air.

He clutches at his head with cold, quivering hands. Lying on his side, he prays that the action will muffle the screeching. Prays that his skull won’t fracture from the agony of those shrill, pained sounds.

His prayers make no difference.

Reluctantly cracking his eyes open in search of the source of those wrenching cries, they widen at sight they encounter. Countless gleaming yellow eyes surround him.

So, he realizes, Heartless can scream too.

♥ ^^

Actually, he fits more than who I wrote, hahah. ;D

[vollykins.livejournal.com]

whoa. :33 simple and effective. nice.

i have a feeling it's ansem...while he's still tinkering around with the darkness.

but, then again, i've weird ideas. X'DDD

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

Thankya!

Nope, but that's an intresting way to look at it. Weird ideas are great~ :D

o____o whoa. That was so cool~

Actually, I was playing with the idea that it was Ansem too XD But Riku was my first thought. Is it?

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

Thankya~! :D

...actually, no. But he would work in this. XD

[annjirika.livejournal.com]

I was thinking it was Ansem at first too...

But for some reason, the line 'moist, moldy air' makes me think of Squall, in the Cavern. I don't know why.

A really good drabble though, I love it.

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

^^ Thankya muchly.

Squall works here, too. ...I didn't think of him before.

Cloud and his WHOMG HEADAAAACHE AUGHs?

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

Booyaka! You get a cookie! :D

When I wrote this, I was thinking of him and the first moment he wakes up with his wing, but it turned out it can very easily be applied to anyone. XD

[raiknii.livejournal.com]

Can't it apply to, like, anyone? I could see it fitting in with Ansem, Riku, and Sora, and other characters don't have enough background to rule this out... Hell, it could be Mickey!

Nonetheless, nice little drabble. It's hard to say what I like about it - I guess it's because it's so well written. I can't even find anything bad about, except that I want more. ^_^

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

XD [nods] I thought about it after I posted it and figured it could apply to, erm, almost anyone in KH. Yay for ambiguity.

Thankya so much! :D

I pictured Cloud the first time I read this! Seriously. And I pictured it taking place underneath Hollow Bastion? That's just a guess, though. I think we have similar visions/theories concerning Cloud. Or something. XD

♥ Very cool.

[ex-skyrise548.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do~! Awesome.

♥ Thankya so much!
