Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice.
And really, it's all the same to him. No matter how you spin it, people live, people die. And in between is bloodshed.
In a war of the worlds, all he wanted to see was red. Full-blown carnage, he bathed in slaughtered (sparkling) crimson. He walked a butchered road, waiting.
For some sense of purpose.
He was immoral (amoral); to him, cheap thrills didn't exist. What more was there to do when you were already dead?
So he would hack and slash until there was nothing left, nothing left in this unlife of his.
Until he was gone for good.
