Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. 

Nine little soldier boys stayed up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. 

Eight little soldier boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven. 

Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. 

Six little soldier boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little soldier boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. 

Four little soldier boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. 

Three little soldier boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. 

Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was One. 

One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none. 

Unless of course, fate intervened and our soldier boys found a loophole?

❝ I lost you in the silence, bleeding through the walls; a sorrow came that ceased to leave & took you from my arms... ❞ - Draconian, 'Dishearten' || A fanfiction based on the movie The Lost Boys 1987 x OC 🥀 || ❝ I urge you to be mindful with the choices you make & the risks you take. Be mindful how much trust you pour into the world & the people that roam it. You may believe in the good in every soul you encounter, but the sad truth is that not everyone has something good to offer... Many a kind smile hides a vicious heart ~ ❞ Faint beams of cold silvery light gave birth to one of the most bizarre scenes I had ever witnessed in my life & without a doubt would ever come to witness, the blood freezing in my veins when I saw the intruder's face for what it truly was: a distorted masquerade revealing human features as well as monstrous ones alike, bleeding an expression trapped between blind amusement & rampant wrath; embedded in it a pair of orange-red eyes, glowing like dying embers in the pool of darkness, & where once a careless smile had graced his young face I could now see two large fangs instead of regular human teeth, ready to grab & tear flesh from bone. It was in that moment that I snapped out of my trance-like state & managed to force myself out of the paralysis that had grabbed hold of my body; my survival instinct took over at last & I jumped up in my bed to back away from the man who turned out to be exactly what I thought he was: A vampire.

in a small town suddenly hit by waves of violence and deviance, the consequence being that a boy gets caught in the crossfire of gang culture. it devastates the community, but it brings people together, perhaps some more closely than others. lucas doesn't believe in fate; he thinks fate is a bully, it's unfair and unforgiving. he looks elsewhere for guidance, to make sense of what happened, and what cruel world would take his friend from him. john knows there is blood on his hands that he can't wash off, but when he sees the boy dressed in black weeks after his friend's funeral in honour of his death, there an unshakable feeling even sunflower seeds can't fix. nothing would ever be the same, in the town of the sunflowers.
