This is just another snippet (flash fiction) from my mind in days gone by...
They can't see you. Don't worry. You're invisible, completely beyond their sight. Sightless eyes can not see what they can not understand. So there you sit, so calm and quiet. You listen to every word they say. You've been listening for years. Your own words are lost until someone else regurgitates them later. So why don't you do anything about it?
Ah, yes, that's perfect. Even if they can't see you, surely they'll see the gun. Maybe they will finally notice you before it's too late and the spiral brings you to the bottom. It's a perfect day to be seen. Look at how lush the green grass looks. Look at all those women pushing strollers with that glow on their face that only mothers have.
There he--right where you knew he would be. He has his back against the tree, leaning ever so slightly as he watches them all walk by. His eyes follow even if his head doesn't. That doesn't matter because if he doesn't see you at last, well...
Barrel to his head, he can't miss you. His eyes widen for a second. He goes to speak. Oh, who cares? The trigger resists, but it's resistance is not enough. BANG! Those eyes go dark and whatever words finally wished to come are gone. The only problem is that now you're not invisible. You knew this would happen though and you just smile to yourself as the cold metal caresses your wrists and you are led away.
