I saw the Ninja Assassin skin, and since I'm super excited for Ninja Assassin (I mean it has RAIN (who I didn't get to see in Speed Racer, so I might as well see him in something even more badass) AND JOON) I figured I'd put up a morbid journal while I have the skin. I'm not in a very morbid mood today, but I'll write something nonetheless.


**
It's there,
You feel it,
You know it in the ripple of your flesh
The shiver that rolls through your spine
And crawls in your skin,
You will die.
The darkness suffocates all sound,
Eyes deceive
Nightmares in the dark.
Trust instinct, only instinct.

Laughter.
It draws near.
Take flight--

Pant, pant, pant -

Your burning lungs beg you to stop
You cannot oblige,
Keep running, keep running.
You can smell the blood
Those who have stopped,
Paused for breath
No, no, you will not succumb.

"Ha."
Your feet cease moving.
Something is beside you
"Ha, haha-"
You hear it, you know it,
Cold in your hand-
"Ha ha, hahaha,"
A knife, a weapon,
You will not die,

Stab.
Metal meets flesh,
Screams rend the air;
Laugh now, my tormentor,
Draw back, again, again,
Life reduced to bloody meat.
But life, oh life,
Deep shaking breaths of purity
A calm never felt before
The serenity of being truly alone.


Dawn,
Crumpled bodies on the cement floor
This sick laboratory turned battlefield
The last man standing covered in blood
That drips down his chin and speckles his lips
His only instinct to live
His only purpose to exist
And in his eyes a beast,
A predator surrounded by trophies
"You're a wolf, you're a wolf,"
He reminds himself
And no-one denies it.
