"One last job... that's what he told me.

The scene begins in a dark room. It is pitch black and the only thing that can be seen is the silhouette of a man wearing a winter trench coat sitting on a chair while holding two M1911 pistols in his hands.

???: "Just one last job, and you're out is what he said. And he kept his word, he always did..."

Flashes of a man who looked like some sort of mob boss holding a cigarette could be seen. He seemed to be talking to someone who was offscreen.

???: "I thought maybe, I could finally settle down. Live a quiet life. Spend the rest of my days with Maya... be normal."

Another flash, this time of a young woman dressed in goth attire was seen smiling and laughing with yet another offscreen figure.

???: "But I should have known better. Men like me, we don't get to be normal. We don't get to live a happy life."

There was no flash this time, but screams of a woman and gunshots could be heard followed by twisted laughing.

???: "That day... something woke up in me. Something dark. And once it came out, it wouldn't go away."

Once again there was no flash, but the man sitting on the chair suddenly had two snake-like demon creatures emerge from the back of his shoulders. The creatures snarled and growled at you, the reader, menacingly.

???: "At first, I loved it. Couldn't get enough of it. All that power... and I could use it on every single motherfucker that ever wronged me. What wasn't to love?"

The man stood up from his chair, this time a dark tendril emerged from the back of his right lower waist.

???: "That thing... the monster inside me... it kept talking to me. Whispering to me. Telling me it could help me tear those bastards apart, all I had to do was keep feeding it hearts."

The man then made a motion with his hand, and from the ground next to his chair a small, dark imp-like gremlin creature emerged wearing a hat that looked suspiciously like a skinned cat and a British flag in place of a shirt.

???: "So I did. I kept killing, and I kept feeding it. It only fed on the hearts of evil people. Good for me, no moral dilemmas. But what I didn't know, was the more I killed, the stronger it got. And once it got strong enough... it wouldn't need me anymore."

The man was then briefly engulfed in pure darkness. Once it subsided, he was covered head to toe in intimidating spiked armor.
