The Good Fight?
"There's no rescue coming down from on high."
As inspirational speeches went, it sucked. Richard's strength was sometimes a weakness, like now. He saw how the world could be, but also saw it as it was. That's what'd kept me around. But with the odds out there, anybody could see the way the world was.
"Anyone who stays with me will die. I will force none of you to.."
The smoke rose behind me for hours. What good would have come from me dying with him, and his ideals too?
I wonder what world Richard saw, that made him stay.
(This one was inspired by a quote from a song, but as I wrote it and then had to cut it down, the quote had to get cut because it didn't really matter enough to fit in the 100 words. That kinda thing happens more often than you'd think.)

"I have seen the others
And I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And I've seen their mothers
And I will no other
To follow me where I'm going.
So - take a shower, shine your shoes
You've got no time to lose
You are young men, you must be living
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You've got no time to lose
You are young men, you must be living
Go now, you are forgiven.
