A hotel room, somewhere in Nevada
1:13 am


It’s a small, rather unadorned room. A large bed takes up most of the space which it shares with a wooden desk, a chair and a rather uncomfortable sofa. The walls are shabby, with a couple of modernistic abstract paintings lending some much needed colour to the room. A night lamp sits on a bedside table, illuminating the room just enough for you to see the man sprawled across the bed. His rough blonde hair is short, a scar beneath his left eye does not help soften his stern, rather unattractive face. He sleeps but not in peace. His eyebrows twitch. He dreams.


I felt her soft, perfectly sculpted fingers running playfully through my rough, unkempt hair. I felt the loving warmth of her breath on my cheeks. An angel she must have been. I could have done nothing to deserve her. I felt her ample bosoms on my hard, muscular arm. I tried to grab her. I would never let her go. I would die before I let her go again..

But then she just walked away, slowly but surely. I screamed, pleading for just one more minute with her by my side but to no avail.

And then I wake up, gasping for breath. It had all been just a dream. Brittany had left me..forever. But somehow she would never leave my dreams. No matter how hard I tried. Every time I closed my eyes, there she was..in all her beauty, the only woman I could ever love.


“The world was on fire,
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you”



I know I won’t be able to sleep any more. I’m used to it by now. I light a cigarette. I inhale the sweet, poisonous smoke. It fills my lungs. I’m calm. Tobacco is man’s best friend.

I drift away in a cloud of thoughts.

We were so young when we met. I was 18 and she was a year younger. We met while I was out shopping for grocery. We both reached for the same bag of veggies. She had me at the first glance. Her smile was a smile which could brighten up your worst day. A smile which could disarm the grumpiest old man. A smile which could end wars. We fell madly in love. For the first time in my life, I was truly and genuinely happy. I never understood what she saw in me but I didn’t care. I was the happiest man in the world.

It’s rather tragic how every good thing in life comes with an expiration date. No matter how much we kept running, we couldn’t escape fate.

I blame myself. And my choices.

But it’s poetic how life goes on in circles. The drug which had me completely hooked and made me blind to the fact that I was about to lose the one I treasured most in life, my love, my wife, is the same drug which I have turned to, hoping against hope that I can take back control of my life. That drug is wrestling. And this is my salvation.

Outside a gym, somewhere in Nevada
10:45 am


They say I’m a madman. I don’t sleep all night and work out like a machine all morning. The sleep deprivation has left its mark on my face. Dark circles surround my eyes. But vanity is not something I lose sleep over. My conscience keeps me up all night anyway.

I hate myself.

How could I be so selfish? How could I not see that I was losing her? I lusted for fame and glory in the ring. While I was winning championships, she was at home, lonely, crying herself to sleep. I never called.

Wrestling, my lavish mistress, you had me once. But this time I’m taking control. I will not rest until I make you my b*tch.

I feel sick.

A cigarette.

Inhale, exhale.

I’m calm again.

-FIN-


OOC: I know it's kind of short but this is my first attempt at writing in almost 5 years! I hope to get my head back into the game soon..meanwhile I would appreciate some feedback from you guys, drop me a PM.
