-1The pain was blinding, he could see nothing, nothing but red blood and black clothes and white flashes as the pain overwhelmed him as he drowned in his own blood. The blotchy sight meant he couldn't see, couldn't see as the monster came towards him. The monster intent on finishing the job…
Pain. Pain is good, means your still alive…
The laugh, the cold chilling laugh filled his mind, destroying any shreds of hope he had at surviving this encounter with the demon from hell, from his own personal hell. His ears rang with the cold sound, as cold as the snow falling outside. The laugh that filled the nightmares that plagued him at nights, that drowned out his screams as he was tortured in his sleep. The laugh that blotted out all other sounds…
No, no more…please…hurts…
The blood dripped form his gasping lips, forming a small pool on the ground under him, one of many around the cold lab. The metal taste made him want to gag, to throw up, it told him he was dying, slowly and surely, just the way the bastard wanted. Told him if the black clothes demon didn't get him, his injuries would drown him in the metal taste of blood. The blood that filled his lungs…
Jill…God Jill, I'm sorry, please forgive me…Claire…No…
The smell of the cold sterile room was barely detectable over the smell of blood, of blood as it ran in thin rivets to the floor, from his mouth, his nose, it smelt vile and it was driving the black clothed demon into a delightful frenzy, one that increased the pain tenfold with every attack. The smell of blood that told him his times was up, that this was the end. The smell of death…
No…not now, I can't…I need to…to save…so tired….dark…can't sleep…no…cold…numb…Jill…
The numbness creeping up his spine, the numbness driving away the pain. It was good, it felt wonderful, it was an end to the pain, an end to what he was doing, an end to the suffering. He could give up, give in to the numbness and the strange calm settling over him as he accepted his fate. The calm that would solve everything…
NO!…They need me…they…need…m…
Red and gold eyes faded from his sight, slipping into a comforting darkness…
The cold laugh fell away, followed by a beautiful silence…
The taste of blood slipped away, gone forever…
The smell disappeared, no air moving…
The feeling of numbness replaced all pain…

The end…
