First and Last Lines Tag~

Thank you @glacialfield for the tag!

Here I present to you the first and last lines from one of my active WIPs "Foliè". Enjoy~

First Line

No one knew when it had started. No one knew when the world had decided to destroy itself. Everyone knew, however, that it was no longer safe. The air as everyone had known it was poisoned, but not by pollution, no, what was polluting our air was what we called “The Madness”. No scientist had figured out where these gases came from, all that was known was that once inhaled, the mind was poisoned. You went “insane” and over time lost your grip on reality. It started small. First came filterless words, then, for example, running naked in the street, then it escalated. Suddenly you stabbed someone or blew up your own house. There were also worse cases that you could never say out loud, cases like old Mortimer who first dismembered his wife and then little Tim and then ate them. You could hear him singing all the way down the street. When I heard it, it didn't sound like singing. It seemed like wailing to me.

Last Line

His kisses roamed my skin while he whispered caresses. He praised me, leaving me floating on cloud nine. He kissed down my body. My breathing quickened with each new kiss. Suddenly, I felt his fingers on the edge of my waistband. My heart pounded as he looked up to ask my permission. Before I could answer, however, she came. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! This is my body! It's mine! You stole it and now you're defiling it! STOP IT!" I violently pushed the dead man off me and held my head. It throbbed because of her screaming. It was so loud, so fucking loud. My vision was blurred, my eyes vibrated, my breathing raced. She was using her powers on me, trying to torture me. I screamed. I screamed to drown out her screams. My ears were throbbing, throbbing, throbbing. My hands tangled in my hair as I pulled at it. My screams drowned out her shrieks until I could only hear myself.

Summary: There was something lying behind his sternum, beating against his chest to escape, gnawing at his ribs and painfully pumping heart. His face radiated heat, his hands were gently trembling. His muscles jerked in unexpected, uncontrollable ways.

Was he scared? Panicking? It was difficult to tell. His heart rate hadn’t picked up any.

Notes: I don’t know what this is. Just describing certain sensations. I wanted and needed to write. This isn’t anything I’m particularly proud of, but here you go, nevertheless.

Stein breathed in, breathed out; inhaled, exhaled. He yearned for the quelling effect of nicotine, though some sort of stupor-like avolition withheld him from exerting himself in such a way - or, truly, any way.

A seething ball made his throat its home, his aching head and body teeming with an indescribable madness, as he blinked back pathetic, degrading tears. He was entirely lost, though he’d never left his laboratory.

There was something lying behind his sternum, beating against his chest to escape, gnawing at his ribs and painfully pumping heart. His face radiated heat, his hands were gently trembling. His muscles jerked in unexpected, uncontrollable ways.

Was he scared? Panicking? It was difficult to tell. His heart rate hadn’t picked up any.

A violent and crawling sensation echoed throughout him, coursing through his veins. He balled his pallid hand into a fist, banging it against his skull, his arms, his knees - tugging on his hair, of which dared to caress his neck, which dared to fan across his face.

He, too, would audibly groan and whine, kicking his feet like a toddler, switching between a frown, a pout, a blank expression, and a grin when spasm-like giggles bursted out of him.

‘Where am I?’ The words rang, not only within the confines of his mind, but also outside of it - his thoughts being spoken back to him, broadcasted, told like a short story. His innermost, private thoughts were now becoming his outermost. Why wouldn’t they just put his thoughts back inside of his head?

He could feel the churning of his insides being gradually turned into his outsides, being externalized, as a whisper of “go” left his mouth, and not of his own volition. “Stop.” “Just leave.”

The desperation he felt to simply just bang his head on his desk and watch himself bleed profusely was immeasurable, to stab himself repeatedly, to dismember himself.

He stood languidly, shakily, strangely from his desk chair, stumbling as he paced in repeated circles, encircling his torso with what were supposedly his arms, and rubbing up and down the reachable space closest to his spine. He looked as though he were taking his first steps at the ripe age of twenty-eight.

His frame felt heavy, his legs cumbersome to move. Perhaps he was simply just exhausted. But why? He’d surely been getting more sleep lately. Maybe it just wasn’t quite restful enough.

“Stein,” a hushed voice called out, indiscernible whispers following it.

Franken whipped his head around.

“Stein.”

“Stein.”

“Stein.”

“Stein.”

“Stein.”

“Stein.”

They wouldn’t shut up. They wouldn’t stop. Over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Again and

Again and

Again and

Again and

Again and

Again and.

A circle. One big circle. Again. One big circle. A cycle.

He heard the door open. He turned to face it with his jittery figure, having jumped at the strident creaking noise, with a deer-in-the-headlights sort of expression.

The door had been slightly ajar from the corner of his eyes.

The door was closed.

A light flickered.

The light was never turned on.

Was the bulb in need of a change? Or was his screw in need of a change.

A change.

It all felt like it had changed. Where had everything and everyone gone?

“Shut up,” he murmured.

They began to hum. They hummed a grating song as they waltzed around the room. Stein clasped two hands on his ears, shushing the overstimulating, agitating sound - again, not exactly of his own volition.

Whispers… whispers… whisperssss…

Stein ceased his circling, standing in a guarded manner, his fingers resting against his lips unconsciously. He bit down onto them, onto each of them, divot-like markings blossoming.

Franken rolled his shoulders, trudging away from the mumbling, slipping into the shadows provided by the corridors.

“Don’t leave,” they demanded, though he did not listen.

He opened and locked the door to his bedroom, shrouding himself with piles of blankets, soft sheets underneath him.

Again and again and again.

Again and again and again.

Circling, pacing; an endless cycle.

Again and again and again.

He rocked himself under the covers, retrieving and holding onto a large clump of blanket.

Where?

To dissect oneself was what he needed most. To cut himself out of his inconvenience of a skin-suit.

Where?

‘Where, indeed,’ he pondered, sharpshooting pains firing in his chest, one pathetic, pitiful, repulsing, nauseating, helpless tear finally falling.

Pathetic.

But how could you not be when you don’t know where?

Where was he?

Where was everything and everyone else?

‘Let the possible fear and anxiety overtake you and devour you whole; you’ve no other option.’

No other option.

He whimpered.

Again and again and again and again and again and again.

He denied. He cried. He was enraged. He accepted. He released. He was decomposed.

THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY.   painting a portrait or sketching the face of someone you love.   meeting in secret. visions of your lover dying.   clutching a lover's clothes to your chest.   love so consuming you kill them.   protecting their innocence at all costs.   betrayal. polyamory.   devotion.   flowers for the one you love. remembering the name of your first love. jealousy when you see them with someone else.   love so consuming you die for it. visiting the the place where you saw them the first time.

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.   letters to your lover. marrying for love. these bars can’t keep me from you. motivated by love.   an avenging angel.  scorching jealousy.   love reborn. devoted to memory.  it was all for you. going your separate ways.  commit murder for me. an unstoppable hunger.   death comes for us all. the strongest love eventually grows apart.

DRACULA.  the holiest love.   girls love wolves.  the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.   violence is passion. red lips, sharp teeth.   love letters in a diary.   unrelenting support. getting lost in the woods.  coming home to you. walking backwards into hell.   vengeance for my love.  even death won’t stop me.   we can live forever.   love is an open wound.   too much love to give.   bestowing your favor.   a never-ending thirst.   beauty even in death.   ravenous desire. if only death had a heart to give. a mercy killing.   these violent delights have violent ends.

FRANKENSTEIN.    childhood friends to lovers.  they were something out of a dream. arranged marriages. learning to love. was it all really worth it?  our guilt can know no bounds. vengeance, my love.   dismembered body parts. my beating heart in your open palm. your death destroys me.   adam and eve.   crossing the mountains. an antagonist in mourning.  paradise lost. the loss of innocence.   abandoning your dream. the tempest on the horizon. humans are the real monsters.  my love is wiser than my hate.
