I Will Possess You by Death Cab For Cutie
Christopher The Chauffeur held the container up over his
head. His face had been partially eaten,
but for some reason, he could feel no pain.
It was because he was in a body that had been drugged out.
The other two, Gregor and Chrysalis, they were in new bodies
that had overdosed, but a Walkin is not impacted nor infected by the
mindlessness of drugs that the owner has partaken. All they have is the limp body to try to use.
Pain comes only if the body was not drugged.
None of these three felt any pain at all.
That was why when The Chauffeur doused the ground with
flammable liquid, and then caught on fire, he felt nothing at all.
Chrysalis hobbled along with her beloved, Gregor. He wasn’t moving all that fast.
But when the sudden burst of light filled the tunnel with
sight, she looked down and saw that most of the meat from his legs had been
chewed away.
He was losing quite a lot of blood.
He was not long for this world.
She turned (like Lot ’s wife) to look
back at what source of light had erupted, and she saw a burning figure with his
arms out-stretched. He had dropped the
canister of fuel and stood there, unable to see.
His head was engulfed in flames.
Whispers about her became shrieks.
“The Fires of Hell!
Too soon!”
“I am not ready to leave this place!”
“Too bright!”
Chrysalis pulled Gregor along to the dark end of the tunnel,
and then she saw others who scrambled away from the light.
And that was when the burning man howled and ran towards
them.
(To Be Rewritten)
God Help You
God Help Us All.
