Blood and Clay (A Mister Morgue Fan-Fiction)

Serenity

        But all of that was behind us. Bri made the decision to grieve and move on. To not linger on the terrible things of the past, and only look towards the future. 

        We both took the rest of the week off, staying at home, cuddling, and eating cookies, before going to work again the next week. When we came back we found out that AMC was interested in filming a pilot for a reality show about the Freakshow.

        I wasn't too excited about that, but Bri thought of it as a great opportunity. She really was following her own advice.

        After everyone discussed it Tod made the decision. Yes, we would film for AMC. Even though I didn't necessarily think it was a good idea, it was still an exciting prospect. A chance to put my ideas about the world out there to a large audience. I guess this could be a great thing.

        They filmed and filmed the next week. I performed in front of these huge cameras, as well as decently sized audiences, and my head would buzz and I drilled into my own head, with a nervous-looking Bri standing next to me. Waiting for her chance to perform. For once my life was...serene. It wasn't unbelievably happy, nor was I drowining my despair in unbelievable amounts of wine. I was floating. I had a beautiful wife, a job that I loved, a wonderful home, there was nothing for me to worry about.

        I performed in front of those cameras and those audiences for weeks on end, Bri and I fell even more in love even though we feared what may happen after getting married so early on in our relationship, it was the best time of my life. Bri told me I was different, and I can truly say that I was. I had changed significantly as a person, and though I still held onto the dark, anarchist side of myself through performance and philosophy I could go home and trust I can take a break from all of that. I could drive back to; my apartment with Bri and curl under the covers and clear my mind of destructive thoughts.

        I could be serene.

        It was this that I had to reflect on while I was...
