Tears streaming down my face, I slowly raised my head. How could it have ended this way? All of my careful plans! Ruined.
In the blink of an eye. I surveyed the wreckage on my hands and knees, dusted with chunks of gravel and streaked with dirt. I watched him strut off, flaunting his victory. This isn’t how it’s supposed to happen! The hero always wins! I slowly rose to my feet. I had been forgotten for now. Everything I had worked for was destroyed and all the monsters had to do was destroy me. But I had been defeated, and that was enough for them for now. A light shone in my eyes; the sun peaking through the clouds of haze. I would conquer them yet. I would restore everything to how it should be. A matter of perspective, that’s all, just one side or the other through their eyes. Savior, enemy. All focused on the perspective, the self, the one whose eyes are being seen through. All focused on the self. A woman rose from the gravel. She had lain until they left, defeated but not destroyed. In the eyes, the self-focused eyes, was enemies and destruction of good. The eyes. All showing the focus, the focus, the self. Everyone focuses on the self, the eyes they see through. All, all. Self-focused, selfish. But who, who, how can everyone be focused on the self at the same time? If all is self, there is not enough room for all in the world. Self is all there is, no other, none but they who please the self. And then only for as long as they please the self, then gone and forgotten, all but a scar. Scars and tears and self-focus. That is what comes of it. Who, who, how? She stumbled home, tears down the cheeks, tears from the eyes that see from the self. She started over, building up again as seen fit by the eyes that see from the self. Who, who? He smiled grimly as he recounted it. What he had seen from the eyes that see from the self. The woman was a villain, He spoke as he saw from the eyes that see from the self. She destroyed the city, No mention of the help that he gave to the destruction. Takes two to fight. Two sets of eyes that see from two selves that disagree. Clashing. Destruction from the eyes that see from the self.
