“No, Please don’t die! Brother, please no!” I cried into the chest of the fading body below me.
I heaved massive sobs as I could hear his heartbeat slowly fade away.
“Aeslin…” He murmured.
I placed my palm on his blood-stained cheek. “No. Don’t speak.” I said, swallowing my pain. “Just… just rest, love. Go to sleep.” I winced at how small my voice was.
“Aeslin.” He whispered again. His gaze was glossy with demise, but determined.
“What is it?” I asked softly.
“Listen to me.” Each word was filled with agony.
“I’m listening, dear brother. I’m listening.” I assured him.
“Do… do not forget those who have always stood by your side and supported you.” He swallowed and took a painful, shaky breath. “If you do not fail to keep them in mind…
You shall never lose yourself.”
Those where the last words my brother said, before he took his last breath, and expired in my arms.
I blinked back my tears that threatened to pour over my mud-stained cheeks, and slid my brothers eyes closed.
His brilliant green gaze will never touch this planet ever again. I slowly stood up and turned away. I couldn’t bear to look at his slowly silhouette anymore.
“Rest in peace, Brother.” I said softly as I walked away. I couldn’t stop thinking about the words he said to me.
‘Do not forget those who have always stood by your side and supported you.’ He had said.
‘Brother. You were the only one who has been there for me’. I thought. No one else gave a damn about me.’
‘If you do not fail to keep them in mind…’
I stopped walking. I could feel my expression change from solemn to something insane.
‘YOU SHALL NEVER LOOSE YOURSELF’
‘You’re gone forever now, brother.’ I thought. I brought a frail hand up to my face, slightly covering up my demented grin, and wild eyes.
‘What if it’s too late?’ I silently asked him as I sat down in the dusty, desert sand.
I hadn’t noticed I was laughing until I had to stop for a breath.
‘What if I’ve already lost myself?’
“What if I’m already gone?”

All of my stories involve some sort of demented laughing. Damn, I need to come up with some more original ideas.
Honestly, I was feeling absolutely terrible when I wrote this.
And I’d hate to sound arrogant, but up there, I wrote “I swallowed my pain”
Now, I don’t know about you, but I actually quite like that.
Thank you for reading! Don’t forget to review! Even a hate note would suffice for me!
I’m just desperate for comments ;-;
Pleasant nightmares, my friends.
Yours psychotically,
