Universe (Part 10) (FINALE): Final

Chapter 29

Eric stood before the old man's building, he uses his hands to break the door down as he smiles at the pain that he causes to himself. He mangles his hand as he walks through the door, destroying the planks as they cut him and splinter into him. Eric shatters the door, stumbling inside and falling on the ground.

He hears a gun click, "You killed every last one of them." The old man stood before him, carrying a revolver that glistened by the sunlight of the sun.

Eric than reaches out and grabs the old man's foot, crushing it as the man fires at Eric's back, Eric still persevering and Eric grabs the man's other leg and drags him down, "I WAS MADE FOR THIS! YOU WERE NOT!" Eric says, the old man struggling to get out of Eric's grip.

"LET ME GO YOU BEAST!" The old man finally grabs a machete that was in his pocket, using it to cut through Eric's arm. His skin tough and cracking as the old man screams finally goes into Eric's arm. He hacks through his arm, eventually reaching his bone and trying to saw through it until finally destroying his last remaining arm that finally lets go and the old man crawls quickly back, "Curse you!" The old man says, limping on one foot as he looks down at his foot, completely and utterly destroyed.

"Look what you did.. thank you! I deserved that! I deserved everything! Please! Please! Don't kill me! Leave me alive, burn me, feed my entrails to the vultures as I'm alive! Put me over a flame and burn me alive, skin me alive, just fucking make me suffer!" Eric yelled.

"What is- wrong with you!" The old man says, grunting in pain as he sees his foot. The old man looking at Eric who is covered in blood and his face absolutely hideous, "What are you.." He asks.

"I'm... I'm something that deserves pain. Look! Look! I killed the boy! I made him suffer! I killed the sheriff, everyone dies!" The old man clenches his fist.

"Why you.. you killed everyone!" He kicks Eric in the liver, repeatedly, as Eric yells in pain with each kick. The old man than backing away, "You like that huh? That pain!"

"It.. I needed it! Yes- v-very- very badly.." Eric says, squirming now in pain. He lays upward, his face up, "I can.. feel. Pain coming over me, death even.. and it's grasp is reaching out towards me. This is what I've longed for, truly. And it has come." Eric closes his eyes, waiting. But nothing came, "Why. It makes me suffer more, yet I asked? Who is the one that- GAH! NO!!! NO!!" Eric suddenly lashes out at the very thought of it, "NOT HIM.. HE GOVERNS IT.. NO! NO!!! FUCK!!! FUCK! FUCK!" Eric bashes his head onto the ground, destroying the ground as he repeatedly smashed his head into the ground, and destroying his head as he does so.

"You're crazy.. no- you're beyond crazy... Insane."

"I just want, one thing. But.. my mind, splits. It is splitted.. I hate it! I hate the way I can't tell wether I want all the pain or death to just come and get me! If I miss the pain.. I'll miss so much more, and I fear the death. But is death the true resolution? Is that the only way that it can cure it all? IS THAT IT! DEATH! DEATH CURES ALL FORMS OF DISEASE, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN! IT DOES IT ALL!" Eric yells.

"What do you want from me.." The old man asks.

Eric stopping, "This doesn't seem real anymore.. you built this all. Tell me something. Something nobody else knows. I'll take the secret to my death. Don't worry." Eric says.

The old man looks around before telling Eric, "You killed everyone. There is nobody else to tell. But I've always wanted to tell someone this- about it. This ancient old tomb. At least 20 M's away this town. Heading towards the sunrise, it is dug into the ground. I never got to look at it. I was scared. More terrified than I had ever been my whole life, when I saw it. I saw a light, a light come through it. I ran away as fast as I could. A giant boulder guarded the tomb, the boulder.. I don't know how- but it rolled up a hill on its own. I wanted out of the damn place." The old man says. Eric grabs the machete from the ground, the old man seeing him grab it, "What're you gonna do now.."

"Use it." Eric launches with all his strength the machete and it completely cuts into his skull, the old man falling face forward as Eric crawls towards his body, taking off his head from his corpse, throwing the head right outside. Eric looks at the blood stained on himself now being renewed with the new blood. Eric crawls out, unable to walk and he begins to head to the said direction of the tomb. As he crawls out, the doctor and the builder look out at him, crying as he crawls away.

Eric crawled with he sun down behind him, the scorching heat and the sandy winds coming to a close, as the moon began coming up the sky. Eric kept walking, encountering scorpions on the ground that stung and clung onto him, yet he kept walking as if there was nothing on him Eric crawling on his stomach through the sands, the night being pitch black and only moonlight to guide him. Again the sun rose in front of his face, scorching heat from the sun and the sand on Eric, yet it didn't bother him. Finally he had reached the tomb after a treacherous crawl there.

Eric crawled towards the tomb, as he quickly recovers much different feeling. An excitement, seeing the tomb and being brought to the tomb, it felt as though this was his path, a superstition, fate meant to be. He crawled towards it, seeing the enchanting light in front of him. The baby blue light, device drew Eric in even more. Each inch forward, more and more his heart pounded in both curiosity, worries, and excitement. The light as he got closer changed colors, blue, to a bright green color. He got closer and closer, inching his way there as it felt as though it was taking him forever to get so close. He hasn't felt this way about anything in a very long time, before finally reaching inside the pitch black tomb, the light turned into a red color. A ear piercing sound coming out of nowhere that causes Eric to quickly put his hands over this ears. Eric looks to his side, seeing the boulder quickly rolling down towards him. Eric's eyes widen.

"NO! NO WAY!" He yells, the boulder crushing on top of him, entrapping him there with its heavy weight as it completely goes over his body. Eric now trapped under the boulder with no help, quickly losing his consciousness as he drifts to a deep coma state as the boulder crushed over him, leaving himself there for what could be days, months, years, decades, centuries, millenniums.

Receiving the fate of being trapped, once again.
