A/N I think I'll keep doing these 60 second one-shots. This one has a partner, which I will post later.
Please leave a review, and enjoy!
1.
She has a big decision to make
2.
And she knows how it will end
3.
Her breath catches in her throat
4.
And she feels her eyes sting
5.
And her heart feels sore
6.
But she's played the losing role
7.
For too long now
8.
It's finally time for her
9.
To allow herself to live
10.
To allow herself to win
11.
To let her smile be more than a veneer
12.
Calleigh tries to smile
13.
But it comes out oddly so she stops
14.
The gun discharges with a loud, satisfying bang
15.
A small explosion each time
16.
A tiny apocalypse every time she fires
17.
The end of the world
18.
It's time
19.
Bang!
20.
It's time for the end of this world
21.
And he'll never need to know
22.
The war she fights within herself now
23.
Love means sacrifice, right?
24.
So now I'll let you go.
25.
She's stalled for too long and the first step
26.
Must be taken now
27.
With each discharge of the gun
28.
She'll think of her last thoughts
29.
Of love
30.
And then cleanly be done with it
31.
Bang!
32.
The bewitching blue of your eyes
33.
Bang!
34.
The curving lines around your mouth
35.
Bang!
36.
The way your eyes crease in a smile
37.
Bang!
38.
Your tousled red hair
39.
Bang!
40.
How you lean in to listen to someone speak
41.
Bang!
42.
How you always try to be so damn noble
43.
Bang!
44.
How you never seem ruffled
45.
Bang!
46.
How your voice is always steady
47.
Bang!
48.
And the rare moments I see you angry
49.
Click.
50.
Calleigh looked at her gun
51.
She didn't realize how rapidly she was firing
52.
No more bullets
53.
No more time for memories
54.
She takes off her earmuffs
55.
And prepares to greet the world anew
56.
Horatio stands at the end of the hallway
57.
She refuses to let her heart skip a beat
58.
He waves and walks over
59.
She smiles at him
60.
And lets go.
