Darkness.


Be it darkness of the complete absence of light, or the more frightening, yet more profound darkness produced by the weak bare bulb that offered more inky shadow than it illuminated; darkness was ever-present.

In the house that darkness built, shadow was a living breathing thing.

It whispered great sighs like a hugs body breathing in the rank stench of earth, piss, shit, and a smell somewhat like that of dogs, but with the coppery addition of old blood that dried in scaboruous patches across the writhing mass of flesh that made up the majority of the creatures in the barb-wire pen.

Creatures that may have once been animals; may have once been dogs.

They still moved as dogs, and as though some piece of them still remembered things like sensations beyond pain and hunger, they reacted somewhat like dogs.

In this respect they paced and growled at the intruder in thier territory.
The intruder was a whole thing, though it still carried an air of humaness, alien and other.

The dogs with long glistening whip-like toungues paced and muttered, growled and shredded thier obscenly long tongues on the barb-wire mesh that made up the sectioned piece of the white one's cage.

Beyond these, there were the bandaged ones who would occasionally writhe, and whimper in gurgling broken voices until thier very skulls split down the middle to hang in bisected halves from dripping necks.
Often they would collapse and spew blood mixed with other fluid afterwards, as bone and sinew slowly started to knit back together....only to be torn asunder by some strange unseen force over and over again.

Cyclic in thier torment, these animals would occasionally lash out in thier agony and thus blindly attack the barb-wire cage as well, but it was a senseless rushing, whereas the tongued ones were calculating, and methodical; testing the wires for weaknesses.

"I... I thought you were in Heaven," John mumbled, clutching her tight, "but you can't rest, can you? Is that it?" His voice shook, having stabilized himself enough to talk, say something. Anything. The tears still dampened his cheeks, if they were real. Everything was red.

John closed his eyes. He didn't want to see the blood anymore, even with all the things no man should ever see in the dark reaches of his mind. The poor soul was another doomed ghost and, shit, he could not call it just another no matter how much he tried. It was his duty, his responsibility to placate her, to let her rest at last. It was the least he could do.

Warmth and blood. So much blood.

"I'll stay. Just for you."

She was gone, and he had been caught in the delirium and fucking tricked. The surprises never ended, or it should have never even been one. Those who knew how to hurt him did just that, a harpoon through the identity he had carefully crafted for himself to the naked soul.

Age was supposed to make you wiser, not dumber.

Stupidity had netted him three demonic offspring that fucked up half of London or two-thirds. Stupidity had him almost wrapped around the fingers of devils and demons, the First of the Fallen and Buer and Rosacarnis. Stupidity had gotten his friends killed, greater good or not. Thassit, lads: The world's saved for this week. By golly too bad it's doomed to fuck itself up again by next tuesday.

John mouthed the words. Family. Family.

"No!"
