he keeps smashing the iron pipe over the man's head. over and over, blood everywhere. The ground, his own face, his clothes. he finally looks down at the man, and his face is damaged so much that he can hardly recognize him. But he does. His friend Michael is lifeless before him, his blood staining Avery's hands.
the synth woke up so fast that he almost lost his breath,taking time to get himself back together, but he did feeldifferent. he wanted to---stop. the dream was so vivid thatchills crawled over his spine like it was a slip and slide.sure, he would never hurt michael unless michael gavehim a reason to. hell, even then he was afraid to hurtmichael. he helped michael out because he cared abouthim. he had to do something to calm himself down andfast. looking around the empty and enclosed room, hesaw no trace of michael, so with very light steps, he wentto the place where michael was suppose to be. the livingroom. and he was.
sure that brought calamity to him, but his eyes glistenedin the darkness that filled the room and all he wanted todo was----stop. no, he had to stop. his body was movingwithout his will, calmly and almost eerie towards the sleepingmale. he wanted to. so badly. but this was not him. theperson that wrapped his cold hands around michael’sneck, knowing that he could snap it like a twig and noone would know. no one would care. this wasn’t averythat wanted to simply break michael’s neck and rip hishead off his shoulders. he thought by then he found nocontrol, but his hands did not move. they were justwrapped around michael’s neck, not even doing forceto choke the other. and then avery just faded away.
morning came around and avery found himself laid ina pool of blood, a heart in his hand and the dead bodyof no-bark laying merely inches away from him. he wasnot going to kill michael, but he had to kill someone toforget the nightmare.
