Author's Note: Another Vocaloid story based on a creepy song...
This is NOT a sequel to my Dark Woods Circus story! And yes, I know it's short...
Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid! SEGA, Crypton and a bunch of other guys do... Also, Red Swamp Bottom is a song by Machigerita-P!
A strange place. A deep endless sea of red, where coral reefs as sharp as needles spring up from the unseen surface below. Light? Does that exist here? I can only see the dark red of these strange waters as I sink deeper into this red swamp. Light does not exist here. There is only suffering and pain, occasionally interrupted by the screams of sinners.
It hurts. My skin is burning to dust...
My intestines are dragged out...
My eyes are melting...
Regretting your crimes is of no use now. The past and the future will be spent here.
"Oh Lord! Please let me out of here!"
The sinners. Their screams go ignored, muffled by the water, as if god itself does not want to hear their words.
We must atone for our sins... But is that possible? Is our punishment eternal? Or is it merely long? Time... Does that exist here...?
All I can feel is the pain.
Sometimes I open my eyes, and trough these dark red waters I can see others who share my fate. Forever sinking in this endless sea of suffering. They gaze at me and in their eyes, I can see reflected the pain and sorrow of man.
How long as it been since I fell here? They say everything must end, but is that true in a place where time does not exist? Where it cannot be perceived?
I scream in rage and curse my fate, momentarily gaining the energy to flail my arms in anger. But it is no use. Nothing changes. My sore body keeps sinking deeper into this red swamp.
In the end, it is all my fault. Regret is of no use. It will only make the suffering worse...
I succumbed to my desires and fell here.
In this endless red swamp.
Time... It has no reason to exist here.
Light and such have no reason to be here.
Only suffering...
In the Bottom of the Red Swamp...
