The Little Things

Sometimes something as small as a movie can at least make you forget. Something as small as a movie can help you remember. I have played a lot of heavies in my days of acting. I have always wanted to play one heavy in particular. Jareth.

"How you've turned my world you precious thing. You starve and near exhaust me. Everything I've done, I've done for you. I move the stars for no one. You've run so long you've run so far. Your eyes can be so cruel, just as I can be so cruel. Tho I do believe in you. Yes I do. Life without the sunlight, love without a heartbeat. I... can't live within you."

or better

"I have been generous up til now. I gave you everything you wanted. Everything! You asked that the baby be taken and I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down and I have done it all for you! It's exhausting living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?"

ooh ooh ooh even better

"Stop. Wait. Look Sarah. Look what I'm offering you... your dreams. I ask for so little, just let me rule you and you can have everything you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."

All from the same sequence and for once it's something in a heavy I can relate to. Eerie.

But I am feeling better. These things come in waves, I just have to re-center myself.

It's only forever. Which is not long at all.
