THE   SHADOWS   LUMBERING   ONLY   A   STEP   BEHIND   ETHAN   CEASE   &   DISSIPATE   LIKE   SMOKE,   then   reappear   akin   to   insects   crawling   across   the   walls.   inside   the   withering   chapel   is   nothing   but   dust,   broken   glass   &   abandoned   books    ━━━    if   one   were   to   look   any   closer   they   would   find   snapped   rosaries   &   beads,   tattered   habits,   clerical   collars.

❛ i'm kind of lost.

〝    SO   YOU   ARE,    〞comes   an   agonizing   voice,   cutting   through   the   air,   as   sharp   as   a   honed   blade.   whatever   the   ghastly   sound   belongs   to   is   rather   intrigued   by   @moldcursed   rather   than   aggressive   or   protective;   blazing   ruby   eyes   peek   from   the   corner   of   the   ceiling,   descending   like   the   coil   of   a   snake’s   body   to   wrap   itself   around   the   man.   a   human’s   face   meets   ethan’s   for   but   a   moment   before   the   body   of   a   tall   canine   follows   suit,   black   as   pitch   fur   billowing   behind   it.   a   deep   rumble   travels   through   its   chest. 

a   motherly   voice   calls,〝    POOR   CHILD,   YOU   MUST   BE   COLD,   STARVING   …    〞then   it   twists   into   a   mangled   mess   of   multiple   voices    ━━━    both   women   &   men    ━━━    as   saliva   drips   from   its   many   sets   of   sharp   teeth   with   an   unsettlingly   wide   grin.   〝    TO   WHERE   IS   YOUR   DESTINATION   ?    〞

PERHAPS   A   BED   OF   SNAKES   IS   BETTER   TO   SLEEP   IN   THAN   NO   BED   AT   ALL.   somewhere   in   the   years   that   elysium   became   such   a   docile   creature   for   eddie   gluskin   they   realized   freedom   was   mythos;   an   empty   promise   to   reel   one   in   for   another   nightmare   of   a   differing   flavor   [   they   remain   a   creature   with   teeth   nonetheless   ].   they   will   remain   a   reluctant   pet   until   their   dying   day.

silk   &   lace   flattened   to   the   pale   pillars   of   the   bride’s   legs,   they   watch   themself   in   the   vanity   mirror    ━━━    white   veil   covering   sickly   complexion,   bag   -   laden   eyes   flicking   to   the   fabric   scissors   sitting   upon   the   surface   of   the   dressing   table.   as   they   pick   the   scissors   up   and   bring   the   pointed   end   to   the   centre   of   their   jutting   sternum   the   door   behind   them   is   opened   with   force:   the   groom   enters,   all   sharp   dressed   and   shiny   teeth,   causing   them   to   drop   it   with   a   clatter   on   the   vanity.

❛ hey, it's okay. i didn't mean to scare you.

with   a   glance   over   their   shoulder   at   @carnagewed,   elysium   tucks   their   chin   into   the   join   of   their   arm   &   chest.   watches   him   with   pathetic,   big,   round   &   teary   eyes   akin   to   a   dog   that’s   been   caught   getting   into   something   it   shouldn’t.   prays   he   didn’t   see.   they   manage   a   half   -   nod   at   best,   then   turn   to   watch   him   in   the   mirror.   [   they   want   to   bite   him   clean   through   ].

 THE   NUN,   WITH   HABIT   BLACK   AND   SCARS   RED   AS   NIGHTFALL   &   GORE,   peers   into   the   mirror   to   assess   damage   to   their   frame;   they   are   a   starving   thing,   all   protruding   bones   and   sharp   fingers   pressed   against   the   jut   of   their   cheekbones,   the   cigar   burns   upon   their   belly,   the   cuts   on   their   forearms   [   and   the   way   they   cry   would   bring   enough   rain   to   render   an   angel’s   wings   useless   ]. 

 they   are   out   of   place   in   this   bathroom   alone    ━━━    pristine   tile   flooring   with   a   blinding   overhead   blue   light,   unlike   the   chapels   with   stained   glass   window   arches   and   natural   light   that   they   are   used   to.   through   the   strain   of   their   choking   sobs,   the   wicked   sound   of   knocking   upon   the   door   makes   them   fall   quiet   like   a   sparrow   stalled   in   the   air   by   a   hunter’s   arrow.

 elysium   is   devoted   like   a   dog   to   its   master.   they   catch   the   red   rims   of   their   eyes   in   the   reflection   for   but   a   moment   before   their   hood   is   pulled   back   over   their   head:   veil   concealing   their   face,   as   well   as   the   tears   staining   porcelain   pale   cheeks.   atropos   stirs   inside   like   blood   in   an   artery.

 exiting   the   bathroom,   they   greet   @macrodatum   with   a   bowed   head.   they   greet   him   with   silence.   hands   are   clasped   together   beneath   large,   heavy   sleeves,   the   sound   of   rosaries   clinking   together   as   they   gesture   ahead   for   the   two   to   walk   side   -   by   -   side.

❛ i guess i don't really care if it's dangerous or not. i'm going either way. ❜

❛ what happened to this town? ❜

❛ whatever it is, it's not human. ❜

❛ i didn't do anything! he was like that when i got here. ❜

❛ you wanna come with? maybe together we can find a way out of this town. ❜

❛ sorry, but i can't leave. not yet. ❜

❛ are you afraid? ❜

❛ did you find the person that you were looking for? ❜

❛ don't worry, i'm not crazy. least, i don't think so. ❜

❛ should i go with you? this town really is dangerous. ❜

❛ what's a big dumb-dumb like you doing here anyway? ❜

❛ hey, that's not very nice. didn't your parents teach you any manners? ❜

❛ do i look like your girlfriend? ❜

❛ i can't believe it. your face, your voice... you could be— ❜

❛ i don't look like a ghost, do i? see? warm. ❜

❛ i can show you if you want. unless you have somewhere else to be? something else to do? ❜

❛ hey, easy there. i'm just messing with you. ❜

❛ you're coming with me? can't you just tell me where it is? ❜

❛ what, you were just gonna leave me here? alone? with all these monsters around? ❜

❛ is it because i remind you of... her? ❜

❛ this place we're going to, what is it, exactly? ❜

❛ you ever stay in a place like this? the walls are so thin you can hear everything. love, hate, jealousy... ❜

❛ i think you just saved my life back there. ❜

❛ hey. you think i'd look good in this one? ❜

❛ this room... there's something wrong with it. i think we should leave. ❜

❛ oh, loosen up. it sure beats running around with those monsters out there. ❜

❛ what will you tell her if... when you find her? ❜

❛ oh, c'mon. don't give me that look. i was just kidding. ❜

❛ can we stay? just for a little while? ❜

❛ this place, this whole thing, it's like a nightmare. i just wanted to get away from it, even for a second. ❜

❛ here. something to take the edge off. ❜

❛ we should probably get going. ❜

❛ we could come back later, if you want. you know, in case we need a break. ❜

❛ i wanted to ask you... what if you can't find [ name ]? what will you do? ❜

❛ thanks for checking up on me. it's very sweet of you. ❜

❛ how do you know my name? ❜

❛ i'm sorry, but i can't let you just run around this place. you might get hurt. ❜

❛ please open the door. there's something in here. ❜

❛ i was almost killed back there! i've never been so scared in my whole life! ❜

❛ all you care about is that dead wife of yours. ❜

❛ you couldn't care less about me, could you? ❜

❛ stay with me. don't leave me alone again. you're supposed to take care of me. ❜

❛ i don't know, for some reason i feel like it's up to me to protect her. ❜

❛ well, whaddaya know... a stroll in the rain. how romantic. ❜

❛ i'm trying to keep things light. just humor me, okay? ❜

❛ you think you could give me a hand? ❜

❛ you're supposed to be the big man around here. how's a little girl like me supposed to help? ❜

❛ what's wrong? i thought you wanted to get out of here. ❜

❛ this place is different from what i remember. i guess... things never really stay the same, do they? ❜

❛ you... still don't want me to go with you? if we stick together, we just might make it out of here. ❜

❛ ain't no big deal. just put the gun to their head and... pow! ❜

❛ you can't just kill someone 'cause of the way they looked at you. ❜

❛ please. i'll be good. i promise. ❜

❛ it's always the same with you. you're only after one thing. ❜

❛ i don't know who you think i am, but i don't want to hurt you. ❜

❛ i thought that thing killed you...! are you hurt? ❜

❛ but that thing... it stabbed you. there was blood everywhere. ❜

❛ stabbed me? what do you mean? ❜

❛ honey... did something happen to you? ❜

❛ are you confusing me with someone else? ❜

❛ you said you took everything. but you forgot the videotape we made. ❜

❛ it doesn't matter who i am. i'm here for you. ❜

❛ see? i'm real. ❜

❛ don't you want to touch me? ❜

❛ i'll come back, i promise. ❜

❛ how many times do i have to kill you? ❜

❛ it doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty... it's all the same once you're dead! ❜

❛ you wanna talk down to me some more? tell me to relax? ❜

❛ you know i'll find you! ❜

❛ guess i deserved it, huh? the fartface that i am. ❜

❛ you got any other things planned? i think i saw a dark room back there you could lock me up in. ❜

❛ where are you? i'm waiting for you. please, come to me. ❜

❛ i think you were right. what we're looking for... it's not here. ❜

❛ thank you for helping me earlier... but i wish you hadn't. ❜

❛ i know what you are. i know why i needed you. but it's all over now. i don't need you anymore. ❜

❛ it'd be easier if they just killed me. ❜

❛ why are you still here? i told you to go. ❜

❛ wait! please don't go. don't leave me alone. i didn't mean what i said. ❜

❛ please... tell me i'll be okay. ❜

❛ i'm here for you. so what if i'm not her? ❜

❛ i can give you what she never could. i can be better than her. ❜

❛ what else do you want me to be? ❜

❛ i won't let you do this to me. i won't let you go. ❜

❛ the truth is, i hated you. ❜

❛ i wanted my life back. ❜

❛ i tried. i really did. but... i just... can't go on without you. ❜

❛ i can't forgive myself for what i've done. ❜

❛ i want you to go on. i want you to live. for yourself and for others. ❜

❛ you made me happy. ❜

half psychic is better than not psychic at all.

maybe we'll just call you 'highly intuitive'.

can you stay on the line?

you know, there's such a thing as looking too long.

i must have lost track of time.

i'll drink while you tell me things.

it's almost like ____ was never there at all.

you didn't call to say goodnight.

even veals grow a little, and they grow up in a box with their legs all tied up.

i spent the day at home. where else would i be?

i'm okay. i just can't sleep.

i saw more than my fair share of nasty stuff.

i think i just need to be quiet for a little bit.

somebody's birthday is coming up.

be careful they don't work you too hard, alright?

are you still saying your prayers?

you're not afraid of a little bit of dark because you are the dark.

i've seen you before.

you've been to my house.

it's like a long dream, and so dark. a world of dark.

do you remember coming here?

what aren't you telling me?

when was the last time you talked to your mother?

will you tell me the honest truth about something?

i never said my prayers, never once. they scared me.

all our prayers don't help us. prayers don't do a goddamned thing.

nobody ever came to visit. no family, no strangers, no big bad wolves. not anybody.

you're not a child because you were allowed to grow up.

this is a cruel world, especially for the little things. not all of them are allowed to live.

i might have forgotten everything i could, but i never threw anything away.

you really don't remember?

now you're free, too.

i'm just a friend of a friend.

i'm doing this for you. just like i've always done.

don't call me that.
