On His Mind
I could just imagine him lying there, oddly peaceful in a pool of his own blood. Despite the unsightly wounds running up and down his crimson-stained flesh, he's in no pain. His thoughts are the only thing keeping him alive, the only element binding his soul to his body. But as the sun creeps further into the west, and his assailant towers over him, waiting patiently for the life to leave his eyes, even that begins to fade. It's only seconds now, mere uncountable fragments of time before he's gone from us forever. He chooses to use his last ounce of consciousness wisely, and bring to life an image that once meant so much to him. As he closes his eyes for the final time, and the last breath escapes his trembling lips, you're on his mind.

wow. i actually think that it sounds better short. yeah description is nice and stuff but i like how it sounded as more choppy. i'm not sure i really know what you had in mind for what was happening so i sort of made up a situation iny my head haha.
also, that's a really great ending. i liked how it was all, kind of morbid i guess is the word i'm looking for and then "you're on his mind". i was just like :O "that's incredible!"
it's a sort of twisted romantic thought. not most would think it would lead to that. but it's so sweet.
i dunno i'm not a romantic myself, but it seemed like it to me.
i'm in love with your writing haha.
