NOTE: BALL- FORMAL GATHERING/ DANCING NOT SOCCOR BALL ;P
So there is a Ball. Not the kinds human attends. Then there are creatures.
The creatures that roam the darkness, creatures so vile, it makes Satan sick of sin. Creature beyond your imagination, that your mind will corrupt by the thought. These creatures are not your local nightmare, or any nightmare for facts. These creatures are the foul play of Lucifer, the dice yet to rolled. Creatures of the darkest night.
Tonight is no ordinary ball, it's a masked ball. Slowly and carefully the faceless, meaningless creatures roam, through each houses looking for a mask. Little kids tucked away in their tiny cots safe and snug. What a pitiful sight. You see, there is a time, the world stays still, for humans the clock stops, that is the time we roam, no human knows about the time, it's something we created.
Now you see, picking the perfect mask for the ball could be hard, there are so many exquisite faces out there. You could pick a girl with sunshine blonde coils around her heart shaped face. Or you could choose an old man with each wrinkle from a laughter he laughed when he was young. Go on choose your pick....
We like our mask to be unique, an essence that represents the face we took. With our razor like nails we peel the face and give it the meaning less face we wear.
The face with no expression and no life. There are no eyes or nose, the barricading flesh covers it. The feature so irrelevant the next day, the patient is ought to kill oneself due to their horrible sight. Then once the patient is dying, when their blood vessels close up and their breath become hisses of neglect, and their life flashes back and memories drown them, they see us. They see us with their face.
Having a mask to wear is important, the ball is a pleasure full sight, really it is. Tonight my face will become another's, his breath would quicken as I see my face on him. As I see myself in the human world. Then I would turn to attend the ball with his eyes and nose. It's not the kind of party humans would like to attend anyway...
