Challenge: [ 98 ] mother
Title: Control
Word Count: 126
Notes: A very quick write up... It just kind of wrote itself. xD 

“Why do you make things so difficult?”

Empty whispers.

No answers expected and no answers given. 

“Is it really so hard for you to let me be?”

All thoughts came to a focus and one single point was emphasized. Control. The power of control was a strong one and many succumbed, but not only did he not succumb, he did not feel that emotional strain that many felt when being pressured. 

Instead, he fled to the recesses of his mind and let everything wash over him, unaffected. Instead, his heart was turned black, though on the outside it was undetectable. 

She had broken him, in an attempt to live out whatever dream she had  long ago lost herself.

And in that, she lost her son. 

Riku.

Maybe it's weird, but that's really how I've always seen Riku's mother. Pretty neat, and I like how quickly it reads, it's got a cool flow to it.

Poor Riku--and poor Riku's mom. I've always wondered why he was so concerned about Kairi, and never about his own family. Great use of the prompt.

Riku's mum comes off detached and almost a little ... obsessive? Lovely drabble. Creepy in a good sort of way. I feel both wary and sorry for Riku's mum. Wonderful weaving of a character with only a few lines to do it :3
