FFVIII: Graves
Fandom: Final Fantasy VIII
Pairing: None
Warnings: Angst
Rating: G
Summary: Thoughts of mortality.
After a battle, the dead lie exposed on the battlefield. We leave them there as long as we can until the guilt takes over and we creep out to recover our dead. We dig the graves, shallow pits, and sometimes we get so tired of the hard, muddy work, that we push them all into shallow communal graves. It's back breaking, and heart breaking, work, and that's just the easy way out.
Maybe it isn't right, exactly. But they're dead. And we're still alive.
And touching the cold, limp bodies of our fallen comrades makes us think uncomfortably of our own mortality.
