'Unended', gen drabble, DARK

[sid]

VERY DARK.  Also very definitely AU, if that helps.

UNENDED

Getting a sidearm was easy. He accepted the holster because he didn’t want questions.

 

Jack didn’t want anything, anymore.

Blackness.

 

Soon color and sound swirled around him, but Jack was untouchable.

 

He didn’t see the bright light.

 

“Anyway, I’m sorry, but that just happens to be how I feel about it. What do you think?”

 

Jack dropped his spoon and put his head in his hands. Behind his eyelids, red and white and mustard yellow laughed at him. “Wacko,” he sobbed.
