Victory

They screamed out into the night with not a care for all the things that were hiding in the dark, because tonight they were drunk on victory and they were the ones who were to be feared.

Times like these we forget the lessons of hubris and lose ourselves in what it means to feel alive again, nights like tonight we celebrate a moment without fear, a moment without the constant eye out for consequence.  Its nights like this that come once in a life time, and these days, lifetimes ain’t what they used to be.  I know that when the sun comes up, and tomorrows coming cannot be postponed any further, we’ll have to leave this victory where it belongs.  

When the worst is always in front of you, even a glimmer of the way things used to be is worth betting your life on, and despite all the misgivings in my heart, this bet paid off.  I wish you could have been here to see it.  I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look of the fire in their eyes, like a million year old crime finding justice for the first time.
