Sneak Peak at Ghost of the Phantom
Phantom pain.
I sometimes feels as if my left eye has a needle of pure agony sticking into it. But every time I touch it, there's nothing more than an eyepatch, reminding me of the... I can't seem to ever remember what really caused it. Was it the Grim Reaper's long, midnight shotgun or was it when I snapped awake and tore what remained on a single nerve from my bloody socket?
If anyone ever told me that I'd be hunted down because of my religion, I'd accepted it wholeheartedly. If they told me to run because a shadow hunted me in the name of slavery, I'd believe them. But hunted down because of something that you had, but then instantly being discarded for someone else? That seems so foolish that I'd cry myself to sleep from laughing. Hell, I might even let my lungs explode from the lack of air I'd get.
But here I was. Not laughing, not smiling, but in a hell of a lot of shock. A mandatory suppressive on my mind unless I was to fall on my ass and never rise from the ground and starve to death. Insanity continued to drive me through the world, the burning sensation in my belly tore me in half. Every step didn't shoot pain through me, rather, coursed venom through my heart and let my eyes sag.
I can't remember much of what happened, but I do know that something important was taken from me. Every now and then, I freeze up when I see something like the Grim Reaper. A cold dark mask, black cloak, and two metallic shotguns just begging for a soul to come near for their consumption. Whoever reaped in such a fashion was heartless, devoid of empathy. I wish I could say I saw a man with a crazed face, but all I saw a husk of a lifeless body refusing to keep a form. Something that struck the fear of God into me.
The Devil is real.
