Im at a hotel. My computer hates the internet here. Sigh

Is this a weird idea? Yes.

Is this experimental? Yes.

What is it, you ask?

I wrote a oneshot like it's a musical description. ..youll understand later

" And now, the six merry murders of Hermitcraft County Jail,

In their rendition of The Cell Block Tango."

The dark stage lights begin to flicker on slowly, providing you with an outline of six people of ranging sizes. Their chorus continues, each person's outline pulsing when their line is said.

"Pop."

"Six."

" Squish."

" Uh-uh."

" Cicero."

" Lipschitz."

Pop appears to have flaming hair, while Six has wings. Squish has long hair, Uh-Uh is the tallest, Cicero has faintly green skin, and Lipschitz has a lab coat. The lights flash, fully illuminating the stage for a fraction of a second- you can't catch more details about the figures, however.

" He had it coming, he had it coming. He only had himself to blame!"

A glimpse of the stories coming; imagery of a river rushing, a rabbit's tail, a blood-stained leaf, a star, a bloody carpet, and a broken symbol- one you recognize from an Anti-Hybrid organization brutally killed off.

" If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it, I betcha you would've have done the same.."

One of the figures is finally revealed when he says ' Pop'. It's a demon with flaming red hair and matching eyes, a deep crimson. Behind him, you see a video showing a brunette woman willingly watching a young demon drown.

It moves faster, sped up, until you see what appears to be the point of the crime: The demon had returned to living with his mother, and his mother was perhaps the shittiest human you'd ever seen.

" You know how people have these little habits that get you down?"

You watch the demon, Tango, as he walks home- crosses and rotten food are thrown at him with the intent of harm.

A religious place, then.

" Like my mother. Momma? She liked to preach.

...

No, not preach, shame."

You see the mother yelling something at Tango, presumably because of his twisted heritage. It isn't kind.

" GOD SPITS ON YOU, BOY."

" So, I came home this one day, and I'm really irritated."

You watch Tango enter the house quietly, looking on the verge of tears. You can imagine his feelings- a harsh storm of self-hatred and woeful acceptance.

" And I'm looking for a little bit of SYMPATHY."

You watch as he approaches his mother, finally breaking down. You can almost hear him cry about how rude the town is, just because he dared to exist differently.

" And there's Momma, lyin' infront of the shrine, combing her book and preaching."

You watch as the mother ignores Tango's sobbing. What the hell?
