Ghosts of old
« on: September 28, 2009, 12:04:55 am »
Niveus was a rough place during a storm. Snow pounded against the walls, making ghostly sounds echo throughout the base. It made it seem as though the fallen soldiers still haunted the halls. That was ridiculous, of course. The ghosts of old could not exist.

Rick gripped his rifle so hard his knuckles were white. He turned a corner, and saw a dragoon. He fired off a burst, and ran. The dragoon chased. Around the corner, into the stairs ... Rick realized he couldn't run forever. He turned, ready to die, and waited. Nothing happened. Tentatively, he opened his eyes, and saw something amazing: the dragoon was dancing. After a bit, it started to sing! Sing! Its words haunted Rick, even after he had retired from the service.
He thought they must have driven him insane, until he realized he was already insane. The ghosts of old could not exist.











We’re no strangers to love,
You know the rules and so do I.
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of,
You wouldnt get this from any other guy.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

Annnnnd if you ask me how I’m feeling,
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Give you up. give you up.
Give you up, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

This story is amazing proof of modern storytelling and the building of suspense and anticipation that is fulfilled with a complete satisfaction.
I applaud you sir, this short story is perfect, I have nothing to add to this.
Oh hi!
