Theme 6: Obsession

Theme 6: Obsession 

Pictures covered the wall completely, leaving no room on the wall for anything else, not even the paint could be seen. Ryn knew however that they had been a sky blue color. He had painted them himself upon Kandyl request. The younger hybrid wanted to be reminded of the sky, something he could never see again while he was enclosed behind these walls.

Ryn traced fingers along the pictures, sketches really. Kandyl had never left the room, could never have taken actual real photographs of the man himself. He was a shut in, afraid of the outside world and all it had to offer him. If he closed his eyes and concentrated for just a moment he could still almost see the image of him huddling in the corner, hands wrapped in his hair and tugging as he rocked back and forth on the floor. He was choking on apologies to a man who couldn't hear it.

He’d managed the drawing in a rare moment of lucidity. They were, Ryn noted, drawings of the same man. Element.

About the Piece: Obsession is Theme 6. I used a sort of What If? setting for the characters. A little background for the piece would be what if Kandyl never recovered from his friend Element killing himself. What if he never met Bayde and the wonders of alcohol?

The obsession is shown in all the pictures he draws of the man.
