Burn Hole

Dreams of past fights haunting him
Day and night it seems
Old Flight methods rage in his mind
Preparing for who knows what

A god friend wakes him from a nightmare of
The Flight's teasing face
He says for now the streets are safe
Men posted all around

Many precautions have been taken this time
Against the Flight's next move
But the friend still wonders as the Phantom does
What are they warding against?

Was it simply revenge the Flight did seek
And his "spoils" too
That didn't ring true to either of them
Their must be something more

Memories shared and theories passed
Barely inching closer
Just then the wound in the Phantom's leg
Begins to smart and burn

It burns a hole right through his shin
No blood or mess is made
The Phantom finds his world dimming
And thusly passes out.
