I waited outside the house for what felt like a long time, then as I stood there a car pulled up and a man and woman got out of it. The man looked old and tired, he turned and looked, so I quickly hid behind a tree. “don’t forget to lock the car david “I heard the woman say, “david “I said to myself but he looked so old .I tried to remember him the way he was when I was alive, but I couldn’t pull the image from my mind. I wanted to go up to him and say hello and let him know that mum and dad were ok and explain to him what it was like to sleep. But how could I, what the hell would I say , so I just stood there and watched him walk him inside.
Once he had gone I started walking. I didn’t know where I was going, my mind just kept seeing david and wondering what the rest of my brothers and sisters look like. Suddenly I heard it, I knew what it was and I knew why it was it coming. I didn’t run I knew there was no point. I found a bench and waited.
As it grew darker I heard it growling “will you not run reaper” it said “what would be the point” I said” I know who you are“. “Then you know where your going” it said” yes I do “I said “then stand and face the one who will take your soul there“. I stood up and turned around .the beast was huge, a lot bigger then me. he was a black as the darkest night and as he snarled at me, I could see his fangs, slime dripped from his mouth onto the ground. each breath he took made my heart skip a beat.” Reaper you have broken the rules set forth by the higher power ,now you shall face your punishment“. Before I could even say anything I was knocked to the floor .I started screaming as I felt its teeth pierce my skin and rip the flesh from my chest . I couldn’t move the weight of it had me pinned to the ground, all I could do was scream as it kept biting me. I could feel the warmth of my blood as it soaked into my clothes, there was no one to come and put me to sleep, so I was forced to just lay there, as the hound tore more flesh from me. It was like a nightmare. I watched and screamed as it began to devour me gnawing and chewing on my insides. I could see parts of my own flesh hanging from its teeth” lord ignacious” I screamed out “please forgive me, please“. But no one heard my screams, finally the hound stopped eating and looked at me ,blood ran from my mouth. I couldn’t talk just cough up blood. “Now reaper, it is time for you to face your punishment” it said and as I lay there, he ripped into my throat, tearing the flesh from my neck. I tried to breath but couldn’t ,everything grew dark, the pain hadn’t gone I could feel all of it ,as the light faded and then there was nothing, but darkness
For a while all was quiet and still, but it didn’t last ,for soon I could hear them ,hundreds of them, souls all screaming out in pain. I could feel them around me clawing trying to get out. There was no escape, we were in hellenia ,a place of undying torture. There was no release for these souls ,so each screamed out feeling the pain of there death, and I could hear them.
