Prompt: Silent Night
🎵🎵🎵
----
Havve sat alone in his living room, eye fixated on the flickering holiday candle that rested on the coffee table. A radio in the corner of the room whispered joyful and soft Christmas music that barely made it's way to his ears. Deafening silence pounded his skull, unrelenting thoughts creating an escalating storm within his head.
no one cares
He had invited everyone over, hoping to celebrate the supposed to be jolly time of year with festive drinks and stupid jokes and warmed hearts that were reminded of their bonds of friendship and trust that they've come to share over the long years.
he was alone again
He didn't know why. Did he do something wrong? The date was right, the time as well. He just wanted some company. It was lonely, just him and his candle and radio....maybe they were just spending time with their own families? Havve would do so to, if he had one.
they were his family, and they weren't here
Would they call if they were late, or not coming at all? The least they could do is leave a voice mail from the mute so that he could endure less pain. His hands pulled at the couch beside him, short nails picking at cold leather and pulling off any unlucky ribbons of material that may have been torn up by guests
so lonely
Word after word, the Christmas carols became less and less jolly. The gifted voices of the people over the device that sung about their loved ones and merry holiday experiences reminded him of what he didn't have. The candle's wax melted from solid to a somewhat burning liquid, white and green mixing with each other yet staying separate. Why was he alone?
nobody came because i'm irrelevant and not worth their time
A smile sigh escaped him, the radio's soft music transitioning from a sweet song about mistletoe to Silent Night.
Much like the one he was having.
Silent night, holy night
He was a nuisance who couldn't speak and was only there for decoration
All is calm, all is bright
He would rather die than be another Christmas bulb on Dr.Sung's pity Christmas tree
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
A few minutes later, knife heavy in hand, that is what he did
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
