♥︎Empathy- Crystal Castles

' The pleasant click of the lighter sounded as a tiny light rose to the surface. Two dots reflected from under the mask, revealing dilated pupils covered in a pane that looked like glass, polished. In the background there was fog alternating with gray smoke. The burning irritated the eyes, nostrils, deep throat, poisoning the body with its very presence. Feeling of suffocation was something nostalgic for her, the pain in chest, like drager.

They remembered how their head hit the cold pavement, body began to sweat. The heart began to function poorly, it was agony. Pain, however, was not painful -rather mild and warm causing shivers. They remembered clenching the medicines in hand, thinking that would finally die that day, will be saved. God told them to. Calm then, they had not been so calm and sure about thier mind very long.... But when opened eyes a few days later after the coma, heart felt disappointed. And at that moment, sitting on the sidewalk, she thought back to that day.

When begged the God, he sent his demon with purple eyes.

Kid lowered their hand, looking towards the building. The theater was on fire.
The night sky, covered with a milky mist, stretched overhead. Gray, barely visible clouds floated high, illuminating the sheet of dark infinite space. A night without stars, only the full moon peeking through the clouds. Smell of humid air mixed with burning. Street lamps created visible pillars of concentrated light scattered by the rising water. The hour was also late, after midnight. Theater stood in the orange flames of a glowing fire. Building no longer had part of its roof, which had collapsed a moment ago- destroying the whole frame. The front door opened every now and then, slowly letting people out of this burning hell. Everyone nicely dressed, expensively. Velvet dresses, black suits of officials and politicians. They left in a panic, burnt. Patches of skin that look like crusts, or blisters filled with plasma. From inside this furnace, faint screams could be heard as the walls of the building breaking.

A quiet evening turned into a massacre. No one even knew when the building would burst into flames, keeping people inside.

Another scream came and several women looked on in horror. Eyes of them were filled with tears, from smoke and ash, but not only that. Hearing these screams of despair gaves chills. The knowledge that people were burning at stake there was terrifying. Just like you could have been the one who didn't come out.

The child sat casually, resting elbows on their knees, confusedly focusing on the fact that was wearing a white lace short dress -almost disturbing. In the distance, you could hear the wail of sirens rushing through the streets of the night city.

They leaned forward, listening to surroundings. However, screams and fire in the distance made it difficult to concentrate. After a while, the fire brigade with ambulances arrived at the scene, firefighters quickly left the trucks and started spreading hoses. Rescuers tried to evacuate people and provide them with first aid. However, there was not much that could be done with such injuries on the spot - patches of skin fell off, covered with feces and blood.
