The knife was light, but strong. It slides into his stomach easily, cutting through fat and muscle with ease.

Blood pools slowly on the ground, seeping into the dirt, the act an eternal part of this place.

The body didn't expect the brutal attack, the eye's reflect a look of shock, fear, even pain.

Unexpected betrayal.

Azazel finds himself taken aback by the complete beauty of it all. Cain and Abel, the apocalypse really has brought it full circle.
