The Boy Who Cried "Death"
He felt tired after the long day. It was getting dark when he returned after hunting some damned Grimm.

"Damn monsters..."

Bryan said to himself, while taking off his jacket. He felt uneasy at first, but after lying down on his bed, he felt relaxed.

Finally.

He puts on his headphones and turned on the music from his phone. Then, he looked up at his' dorm's ceiling. Come to think of it, he has never looked at his ceiling ever since...they...died. He looked at the other beds in the room. All empty. He was starting to feel lonely. He closed his red and green eyes and listened to the music in his head, coming from the headphones.

"With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping."

"The warmth I feel beside me, is slowly fading..."

"Would she hear me...if I called her name?...Would she hold me...if she knew my shame?"

Then after a while, he fell asleep, without realizing that he did.

He woke up on somekind of military base. There were brown and green metalic crates scattered around. There were destroyed buildings, tall or short. And when he looked somewhere else, there were snowy mountains, just like the ones he use to love.

Definitely...beautiful mountains...

But then...he felt hot wind blow behind his jacket-covered back. Although...it didn't feel like ordinary hot wind. It felt more like...

"...Smoke...from fire..."

Bryan said. He readied his weapon and turned around to his opponent, only to see a 20-foot tall, wolf, with flame like feathers on its back and seems to possess white-colored fur.

"What...the...fuck...is this thing?!"



Bryan exclaimed angrily. Before he can even blink, the monster wolf attacked!

Author's Note

 * The wolf monster was based on, and looks like, the Marduk from God Eater 2.
 * Bryan's music (Tears Don't Fall by Bullet for My Valentine) is still playing when he fell asleep, which means he can still hear it inside his dream.
