They didn't speak.
Now that I came back to my senses, I just realize a thing.
That chant...
Wall has ears-
Everyone heard me cry, and yet they chose to ignore me.
Entrance has visions-
They knew but they didn't let me see them.
Trees have voices-
But they choose to stay silent.
Beware the Clamant-
Cause they can be pretentious beasts, who'll tell you a story.
Beast tells untruths-
"Out of everything you said, which is true and which is not?" I speak.
And the mysticism is not yet here and will never be.
I look at him, directly into his eyes.
I would never give you the honor to be my king.
He gives me his unexplainable look before laughing. Maybe because he knows that I know that he is lying right in front of my face.
"I'll give you one more game, Sabrina."
I tilt my head, he didn't give me the answer I wanted even though he comprehends.
"A truth or lie test."
My turn to laugh, "Did you turn eight-years-old shit or something?"
"It's either you'll play or no response, Daughter." Fuck You.
I compose myself before smiling like the hell I care if I die in this hell. And then nod, his cue to begin explaining.
"All you need to do is tell truth and if not, you'll taste hell."
Don't I in the presence of tasting it?
He flicks his thumb finger to his middle finger. It creates a loud sound in the area.
Parang unting-unting yumayanig at nahahati ang inaapakan.
Tanging nagawa ko lang ay tignan ang sahig dahil kahit na gusto kong umalis sa pwesto ay hindi maaari dahil sa pagkakagapos saakin.
I close my eyes while the area is almost near to getting destroyed. At least, from my perspective but I know for a fact that for them, this is just a silly game for a foolish kid.
I heard a flick again. This time, all I can hear is the deafening sound of my heavy breathing. Para akong nagising sa isang panaginip.
I open my eyes just to see the darkness eating my whole existence.
I look around, I feel like my eyes are closed by the way I can only see the emptiness of the nothingness.
I hate dark things.
I hate when I can't see things.
That's probably my biggest fear, to see nothing.
I can already feel my emotion rising up.
I can feel my heart beating so fast that I feel like I'm exploding like a broken bomb.
I-
I feel empty, like the place where I am.
I lean back on the thing that I am sitting on. My hands and feet are free from the chain earlier.
I could have moved freely, but I didn't; instead, I closed my eyes and waited to see what would happen in the next few seconds.
