The only thing Hero could hear were the screams. Thousands of them, piercing through the smoke-stained sky, sending every bird within miles fleeing.
Smart birds, they thought bitterly.
Wailing sirens broke through the cacophony and Hero wanted to scream. Run. It’s not worth it. Save yourselves.
Because it’s clear I can’t save you.
A cloud of ashes swirled through the air, encompassing the city, the stench of smoke and burning flesh nearly making Hero gag.
Gravel dug into their knees, undoubtedly going to leave some nasty bruises, but it wouldn’t matter. Nothing would matter. Not the hundreds of crumbling buildings, nor the thousands of deaths.
Not the gun to their forehead, muzzle pressing into their skin. It wouldn’t matter.
Villain grinned down at them, making a point out of pulling the hammer back, chuckling at Hero’s flinch.
“You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this,” Villain started, the corners of their eyes creasing as a genuine smile curled across their lips. “You have no idea how long I have waited to watch this fucking city burn.”
