Flicker

His sadistic grin, tongue licking each corner of his mouth. Each step forward leaving behind a trail or destruction. The leather of his gloves moist with sweat. He loos up, c***s his head and once more his smile returns. His blue eyes shine bright, concealing the fire deep within. 

His solid glance straight ahead, knowing what lies beyond this damask path. Another step forward, another step closer. His breathing slow and deep, the lies inside, hidden with his complicated vortex. His black soul. 

He tightens his grip around the cold metal in his surprisingly steady hand. He flicks one of his eyebrows up and slowly raises his hand, the cool silver shining in the moonlight.

His feet stagger to a sharp stop, the dust on the ground forms a cloud and settles, creating his footprint, immortalizing him. 

His arms drop down with defeat, the sword clatters down. His knees give, he bows down and looks up to the night sky. 

The light bounces off his eyes, the tears nearly spilling over. He leans forward, almost kissing the ground. His blood soaked lips inches away. Gravity takes effect as the crimson liquid flows down and out. 

The tears fall, trickling down his sweat drenched face. His body shakes, the pain shoots through his head. His blonde hair congeals with blood, his chest heaving a more trickles from his gaping mouth. 

He lets out one last agonizing cry as he caves and his head slams down against the concrete. 

Surrounded by his work, the flames, the blood, the destruction, he manages to force one more grin. The smirk flickered across his face, his sweaty chest rises once again, as slowly his eyelids close, keeping his dark eyes sealed forever.

Author's Note

This is just something I wrote a long time ago and I thought I would post it on here. I don't know if this will turn into anything more.

Well developed and described.

I thought that - just also thought you should know it was there. Was a good read

The end was great. I have also immolated characters (see: "The Battlefield Inn"(shameless plugging)). It is a really final way to kill them. The vague setting doesn't work well with me personally, but that is a personal preference.
