The Person (?)

I have literally no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this story other than it was just a random thing. I don't feel this story has much point and also its probably either a Poem or a Dramatic Monologue, I just have no idea.

 

Enough about me repeatedly saying 'I have no idea' from Meet The Medic, here is the story (It may look long at first but trust me its really short when you come to reading it):

 

Standing by the burning wreck

Watching the scene unfold

Still as a statue

Not moving

Not flinching

Who knows what he is thinking?

Does he care?

Is he Horrified?

Is he Joyful?

His face is blank

He stares at the fire

as it goes higher

Arms by his sides

Standing straight

Is he confident?

Is he defeated?

He's not bending forward

nor back

Is he even breathing?

The only sound is the

crackling of the fire

Maybe he is listening in

As though there are voices within

the flames

Are his eyes wide open?

Closed?

Squinting?

Impossible to tell

He is unaware of his surroundings

He's concentrating on the flames

Can he see something that

others cannot?

He's not blinking too much

Then...

 

...a tear drops from his face

Is he upset?

He's looking down, can't see his face

Drops onto his knees

Onto the burnt grass

Covers his face in his hands

No audible weeping

Uncovers his face, looks up

Tears all over his face

Shouts in rage

As if anyone can hear him

in the sky

"Brother, I have failed thee

The day came and gone

No way around it

And who's to blame!?!"

...

 

...He gets up

Wipes the tears

from his face

Stares down at the ground

Turns around and walks away

I didn't ask what was wrong

I stand, looking at the flames

as they die away

I turn to the person...

 

...He disappears into the horizon

Where is he going?

What exactly happened?

 

 

I guess we'll never know...

 

Please leave me a reply on what you think.

It's a very interesting read. Due to the lack of initial emotion in the character, and the inability to tell how he's feeling, I would definitely cast this guy as him if it were to be acted out:

You probably won't get that if you haven't seen House.
