CAUSE I NEED A BEAT TO GIVE THIS TUNE

Screeching and then silence before he heard the beating of bodies against cages and the trampling of feet as the creatures broke free and ran into the room.

They had been good before they were transformed by their masters and their minds destroyed. They were bad, now. Was that the right way to describe these things?

He had promised to fix them long ago, but he just couldn't-it was impossible; they would most certainly die if he tried to pull their broken bodies apart.

The rhythm of his heart pounding in his chest disturbed him greatly when he realized he was practically dancing to the beat as he stood in front of the monsters.

Though, the creatures looked as if they were dancing to their own heart beats as they swayed, coming closer to him.

He was vaguely aware of the lightning outside the building when he saw a flash on light within the darkened room. They all ignored it.

He felt that the creatures wanted to rip at his chest and take out his heart and steal it away forever in the dark laboratory.

And he wished to give his heart to them, if only as a small consolation for their horrible fate.

His mind was taking a picture of the scene as the creatures came closer. Their blind eyes and stitched bodies seared into his mind's eye.

BANG BANG

There was pounding at the doors of the laboratory. Someone to save him or them?

He would have to hurry before someone came through the double doors and stopped his mission.

He clapped his hands and pressed them to the floor, collapsing it underneath the creatures and falling over them with fatal force.

WITH A HAMMER BANG BANG

Someone with great strength was pounding the door, now. He would still have to leave quickly.

He still wished to give his heart to them. And so, with a swift flash of metal, his chest was sliced open and fell into the hole he had created earlier.

The men on the other side finally broke through, the pounding of their feet, rhythmic against the concrete floor.

AND IF I

AND IF I

NEED A RHYTHM

NEED A RHYTHM

NEED A RHYTHM

UNZIP MY BODY

TAKE MY HEART OUT


I was listening to Ramalama (Bang Bang) by Roisin Murphy. Amazing song.

Yet another depressing one shot. I need some ideas.
