Black gloved hands flew across a keyboard.
He sighed.
He ached for a touch from anyone. But he couldn't allow it. Not again. He wouldn't doom the world just so he could get pleasure. His skin was a poison to all flesh.
He and his companions had done a horrible crime long ago, cursing them for all eternity. They had opened Pandora's box, unleashing the horrors within and plaguing mankind with its evils. As punishment, he and the other warriors were inhabited by the demons, making the world safer for the mortals and all that shit.
He, Torin, was the keeper of Disease. One touch from him started a virus, spreading as fast as wildfire and killing every human in its path.
It wasn't fair.
He stopped himself. No one likes the 'poor me's.
Want a woman, the demon whispered.
Torin held in a groan. Why was his demon torturing him?
You know that's not possible. Leave me alone.
Disease smiled. You can't escape me.
As much as Torin hated to admit it, the demon was right.
Damn it.
The keyboard started clicking again under his fingers, momentarily forgotten.
Disease whimpered. Torin groaned in return and left to go punch something. His demon would give him no rest. At least he could make it suffer too.
