Ghost Fragment: New Neighbors

[u][i]The recordings of a dying ghost, taken during its last moments.[/i] [/u] I can feel the light fading inside of you widget, you have little time left, time I am not willing to waste on merely watching you dim into a glow. Your questions must be endless, and nothing frightens than the thought of a poor clueless machine like you dying that exact same way, clueless. I wouldn't want to die that way, and I also assume that guardian I gutted must have meant a lot to you. The least I could do is explain what he did wrong. No widget, I did not [i]need[/i] to kill him. Just like [i]he[/i] did not need to try to apprehend me and spout all types of dogmatic excrement about my, philosophical differences. He even went as far as to shoot me, with my back turned even, can you believe that widget?! With my back turned! Unfortunately for him, he didn't know about my little problem. I will never forget that look on his face as I turned to look at him, the perfect mixture of regret and apprehension. I decided he had to die, in the most grizzly way I could think of at the time, frankly I don't remember most of it at the moment. -slight chuckle- It's always, a blur, an ephemeral phase in which I truly feel liberated. The twisting and tearing of tissue, the crimson liquid, the resulting screams, it's all part of a symphony, a song, a piece that seems to be composed solely for my pleasure. Makes me jealous almost, makes me miss my old body. There are no words that can do it justice widget, I couldn't describe it to you even if I tried. Even if I knew every word that existed and will ever exist in the human vocabulary. All, he had to do, was walk away, return to his shattered dormant god-sphere he calls a protector, return to the Vanguard, or whatever faction extorts him of his life for their own gain, all would have been well had he just, turned, the other way. He could have been laughing and playing cards with his fellow hunters by now, probably betting glimmer and chatting with his buddies about that cute warlock broad he met out on patrol. That will never happen now with the actions he chose to take. Apparently that's too much to ask nowadays, a little consideration that is. Oh we don't have to worry about him widget, if anyone finds him the most logical explanation would be the Fallen, you know how they love their work, he won't be a problem to me anymore. To us. And just in case you have that thought floating around in your head, or in whatever complex mechanism inside of you enables independent thought, I don't regret what I did. Regret is one of the most useless states of mind any self conscious being can feel, along with hope…. Along with hope. He made his decision, and should have been prepared for any and all retaliations possible to shooting a complete stranger. He wasn't the first one, and he sure as well won't be the last. You're getting dimmer widget, and now you're probably still cursing me with all your might. It's understandable, I too know what it's like to be separated from someone so important, to know that no amount of grieving will bring them back to you, to know that you will never be able to interact with them again. But hopefully you will find comfort in knowing you'll never be alone here where I'm placing you, you'll be a hollow shell of information, but you won't be alone. I come down here often, when I need refills. Sometimes I like to stare at your blue lights in the darkness and pretend I'm staring into a starry night sky, sometimes I like to knock you machines into each other like one of those... what do warlocks call them? … Newtons Cradle. You'll never be lonely. I'm sure you'll like your new neighbors, you have so much in common afterall. Welcome
