fiction_drabblesTitle: unchain the sky
Challenge/Prompt: #120 Comfort.
Fanfiction: The Sky Crawlers.
Characters/Pairings: Unnamed pilot, the Teacher.
Rating: PG.
Warnings: Spoilers for integral plot concepts. Hints of suicide.
Disclaimer: The Sky Crawlers is property of Mori Hiroshi.
Summary: Kildren don't die. They're killed, but they don't die. And they always come back.
Author's Notes:
-----
Sometimes, booze and cigarettes aren’t enough. You medicate yourself every way you can, but you can’t find comfort. Can’t find numbness. Can’t find a way out of the daily grind.
Tomorrow will be the same as today, but tomorrow you might die. You’re reminded of that every time you suit up, get into your plane, see another man get shot down.
Burnt up bird, twisted metal, sunken wings.
The sky is a cage.
If you want an escape, here’s how to do it: Find the Teacher. The black jaguar of the skies.
Tomorrow you might die, but you’ll be back.
