The Sound Of... I see now that all I am is a trophy for your mantle to display the depth of me that you martyred and ripped out; but all the reasons why no matter how scrutinized or analyzed until they are agonized dare not question the answers. So add me to the broken hearts you've collected between the cold of your blade and the stone of your stare promise played the pied piper that I was nothing more than the lamb for your slaughter. I weep without tears writhing in painful realization that you are not worth the blood it takes to gut hope any further. And here we are to be forgotten and you have the nerve to ask me to scream with no sound. By Melissa Long-Monette For Tony... |

Damn, but this is another fine piece of writing. One can truly feel the emotional contempt the narrator has for their subject. I particularly like the lines I weep without tears writhing in painful realization that you are not worth the blood it takes to gut hope any further. Ouch! At its best. I'd hate to be Tony, if Tony be the reason for this write. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Two of the best closing lines I have ever seen. Wow! You should get a Tony award for this one....for YOUR mantle!  |

powerful and well-written from start to finish, but like others have stated, the ending is awesome |
