Ode to Danny the Dreamer

"Ooh Father where are you ?
I have longed so much for you and I waited all the time for you to come pick me up. Greetje is a nice person and so are the others, but they are not You. Father you promised to stay near me"

The view zooms out, showing a single man standing alone on the Groenplaats in Antwerp. The city is empty but him... he is alone... so very alone.

"FATHER FIND ME PLEASE"

his voice booms over the globe... but still he is alone, so very alone.

"I waited like I promised, why did you put wood through my heart?
When will you come back father, I miss our performances, I miss your tricks and I miss your voice."

A little lady with bright red hair and all dressed in pink pops up from under the stones

"Danny wake up... the prince is about to place judgement on Van Rijswijck, you will like to hear the answer."

A man in the real world shakes his head and focusses on this reality, the one he is not master of. The one he does not feel connected to. He is surrounded by vicious predators, ready to fuck him over whenever they get the oppertunity. He smiles at Greetje who smiles back. He mouths a 'thank you' to her and she winks back.

*She is so nice to him. But she just is not like father... when will he be back, let's try again*

While a large vampire rises from his throne the eyes of Danny go blank and he clearly is no longer 'here'.


-----------------------

How I long back for the days of the Old World of Darkness, I had so much fun playing my character there. I really hope someone will soon decide to pick it up again and I'll be the first to be there.
