Wipe Away the Tears

The lucky one found himself wandering through the citadel of Mojoworld until he heard someone crying. He wandered until he saw someone on his knees in the room where the audience viewed Mojo's sick TV programs. He slowly approached the person and touched the shoulder. He gasped when he saw the kneeler turn his head.

'' Domo?!''

Mojo's slave swatted at Longshot until his metal hand was grabbed. '' Try that again!''

Longshot's expression was more gentle when he viewed the servant's tears and released him. '' Low ratings?'' he guessed.

He tilted his head when Domo nodded while weeping into his hands as his shoulders moved up and down. He touched the loose violet hair that hid part of the slave's face. He proceeded to feel the bruised face and apologized when Domo winced and cried even louder. He wiped away the tears.

Longshot saw the scratches on Domo's back. He was about to embrace him out of comfort until Domo pulled his body from him and finally decided to cry on his chest. They never noticed the camera recording them as ratings finally increased.

Mojo's audience just could not seem to get enough of the suffering of others!
