First post in here. Hello and all that. XD

Challenge; Masquerade.
Title; The Pretender.
Word Count; 143.

He wants to be someone he can never be.

Memories of a life that was never real, fake feelings beating in his toy heart.

He wants to be someone he can never be.

An empty shell, a nobody; that's all he is. He’s just like them.

Names of people and places that sound so familiar, and yet so foreign to his tongue. They were never his to remember in the first place.

He has no soul, no past, no future, and these are all trying to tell him that he is not real, and he never will be.

But that doesn't stop him from pretending. So he begins the masquerade again and becomes Riku for a little while longer, indulging in fake memories and false feelings that define him into the thing he is.

Because it’s better than being a nobody.
