He had hidden himself away... Away from the light, away from his tribe.

A shining silver hero. Infallible, flawless.

No one even tried to see through the steel facade. None of them would have guessed that he was slowly suffocating, trapped behind the wall of what was expected of him.

All they saw was the carefully crafted shell, the perfect protector he wanted so badly to be.

Instead he was dirty and bleeding, ripped apart at the seams... He wasn't dying, but he might as well be.

Laying limply amid the garbage, he knew that this miserable place was where he really belonged – with the rest of the refuse.

I had wanted to write a drabble using the noun form of 'refuse,' but I hadn't been able to think of anything XD I like this a lot, though! Very interesting interpretation of Munkustrap's character (is that a false assumption that this is about him?)

It is about Munkustrap (he's always been one of my favorites, though I don't write about him much anymore). Still - yay, people can tell who I write about! I always kind of worry about that when I don't name the characters.

XD Actually, this is about the fifth drabble I wrote for this theme because the other ones were all really bad.
