A Rotting Eden
300 years after the Apocalypse came and went, the survivors join wandering gangs called Tribes in a bid for survival in a world without nations. This is the story of one man's struggle in one of the last remaining cities on Earth.
I hate you all.
I just had a moment of complete and utter distain for the entire human race. Not to worry, I'm sure it'll pass.


Yesterday morning, I woke up and a completely different person was on my mind. Usually, I go to bed thinking about one person in particular, and again once I awake. But not this time. I don't know how I feel about that. Maybe we aren't as close as I thought. I used to think we were really good friends but... things have become... strained lately. We don't talk like we used to anymore. I can go ignored for long periods of time before this person even acknowledges I'm there. I think... maybe I've done something to ruin it. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's my fault. After all, things have been happening way too fast for me, and I'm none too easy to get along with anymore. Now, I know I can be insensitive, cold, and downright cruel at times. However, I can honestly say I'm seriously hurting over this seemingly irreconcileable gap between us. I used to wake up every morning and look forward to be able to share a few words with this person.


That just isn't the case anymore.


Now, it feels like someone's tied the strings of my heart to a crumbling stone wall and started cutting across them with a rusty razor blade. I don't know where we stand anymore and... It hurts. I'll admit that. I'm in pain. It's all I can do right now to keep from crying. It's pretty much tearing me apart inside. This person used to bring a smile to my face. Now, I feel myself tense up. I can't relax. I'm afraid anything I say can be turned around and used against me. I try to keep things light between us, try to keep the conversation going with little things, small comments, a joke or two... but nothing seems to work anymore.


Still. I'll be wearing a necklace that reminds me of this person when I go under the knife, if it's allowed. Because no matter what anyone says, there's always hope. The difference between hope and luck is that hope involves faith. I have faith that someday, things will be okay between us again. Still, I'm no idiot. Simply having faith in something doesn't mean it'll happen. I may never again be comfortable around this person, but I have faith that things might be okay again.


Someone recently asked me to describe myself. I basically said I was a sarcastic jerk who could really care less about people if I tried. However, I do have a soft side as well as a heart of glass. It's easily broken. I told this person, however, that every time an old wound is opened up again, the scar tissue that forms over it gets harder and harder to penetrate. Eventually, I said, my heart of glass will become a heart of diamond. Still beautiful and precious, but hard and unrelenting. It may shine under the light...but in the end, its just another cold stone.


It's 5:46 pm and I'm completely exhausted already. All this thinking has worn me out. That, and the fact that... well... I'm still on my way to becoming a human nightlight.


Oh... And Akkie gets to keep my Raccoon City Police Department shirt (Yes, I am that big of a video game fanatic) after I take my... "extended vacation." Because he's the only one with enough balls to ask for it. xp


I'm going to sleep.

    Well I've been reading this thing of yours and I've also gone through the same thing recently. I'm acting more colder to people now a days and what not. I'm getting to be tired all the time and other stuff. BUt I guess we all have our days though. But whoever said you were a Saracastic Basatard. They are wroug cause you're not like that all the times but maybe you act differntly around differnt people.

    You give me the best advice all the time and your the only one that really gives me a chance and sees me for who I am and not what other people think. Which I'm greatful for cause I enjoy talking to you everyday. We all have our faws aramis, But yeah that doesn't mean we have to be have to kill ourselves over them.

    You should keep having that faith you have cause without that then hey where would you be now. And also quit being all like I'm dieing, Well hey you are but that doesn't mean you have to be counting down the days until it might happen. Just go out your days like they usually go. I'm sure your going to live for a long time.

    I'm sorry, Aramis. Aren't we still close? Aren't we still good friends? Things have become strained, but friendships go through rough spots, we just have to try to get over them, right?

    I've hurt you unintentionally more than I'd ever consciously allow myself to, so it isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. I danced around with your heart of glass until I got so caught up in the fun of it all, in the feelings I felt, that I forgot what was most important, and dropped it spinning.

    Talk about jerks. I'm America's #1.

    Maybe I'm just being naive when I say that I thought things were seriously mending. I thought our rough spots were past, when they weren't. I thought I was the only one who felt like crying because of the hurt, but obviously I wasn't.

    It's hard to understand what you're feeling, Aramis, so maybe yesterday's laughs were simply a front. I thought they were genuine. Once again I thought we were approaching normal, and maybe we aren't.

    You don't know how much regret I push through every day to simply function. It keeps me up at night, slows me down during the day. It plagues the back of my mind all the time. If I could go back and fix it all, I would. If I could go back and change it, if I could make the decisions again, if I could make sure I never hurt you, I'd do it in a heart beat.

    Like I said, it's not your fault, it's mine. My decisions caused pain. I wish I'd thought more before I made them.
