So She Could've Lived When The Lambent War Was Reaching Its End - Tumblr Posts

She had finished setting up the last one, and she started humming as she walked down the walls, patrolling. It was an old song she heard when she traveled through the woods, across the many settlements of the outsiders and the cog. She found it was a favorite, and since there’s plenty of time to kill after doing what she had to do.

She had to wait until either he finished saying his love or until the traps were no longer spilling glitter and sparkle. She was fine with either, but...When was the last time she had done something this dedicated to someone? For someone as kind as JD? There was an answer, but she brushed it off, they were friends. Nothing more.

“Boy with a coin, he found in the weeds with bullets and pages of trade magazines, close to a car flipped on the turn when God left the ground to circle the world.”

The words slowly and quietly spilled from her lips as she started to sing, and dance to an imaginary beat in the quiet hall, where she heard it from a time when the swarm was once the locust. When the world was in chaos, constantly fluctuating and in a fluid balance that others would cry in anger over.
