Just once I'd like to be the one that got away

33

It's alright.  I've got tomorrow.  And the next day.  And every day until I'm old, and grey, and whoever's running this thing knocks on the door and tells me it's time I was somewhere else.

I've got awhile.

32

   I am a warrior.  Trained by the hardest, wisest of masters, I sit.  I wait.  The shadow engulfs me; I hide from the light.  I wait for It.
  Days pass by.  The sun rises and sets.  I am safe in my skin.
  I count the hours.  I count the minutes.  I count the very seconds, each one passing me by, silently, as I wait.
  The moment approaches.  I can see It, and all of Its power.  I tense a finger; the only tool I need to destroy the power that threatens me.  The power that oppresses me.  It.
  A single motion.  A downwards push, and the deed is done.  One thousand voices cry out in pain; in agony.  I have struck my blow in a moment.  A moment that will be remembered for eternity.  Associated forever with a single name.
  The Last Minute Bidder.

March with me, into the darkness.

Into the end.
