Only Way Out

Chapter 4 happiness?

It's 2:33 am. The fuck? Why am I awake?? Sal is asleep. Shouldn't I be? Then I realize. I'm not awake.
"Hello?"
"Greetings comrade"
"Uh who are you?"
"Take a wild guess"
"Uh..."
"That's right I'm your happiness"
"Happiness? Well why are you so little?"
"Well that's because just like you good sir I'm dying off"
"D dying off?..."
"Yep little by little. I honestly was going to be gone from you until you met that young fellow over there. His happiness isn't the largest either in fact. I really don't see one"
"W what can you see?..."
"What can I see? Oh I don't think you wanna see that"
"Please! I need to know if I can make him happy or not!"
"Well his happiness has shrunk To the size of a flee. Me however I look like a stuffed toy right?"
"Uh kinda like a uh a weird fucked up small toy yeah"
"Hey language! Whatever that's not the point though. What is, is what's surrounding your friend. Your friend's happiness is surrounded by darkness"
"Darkness?"
"Yes but not any type of darkness you've ever seen. It's as if his happiness is surrounded in black mucus like it has bronchitis but bad"
"Oh...what can I do about it?"
"I believe it's to late for you sir"
"What?"
"Soon his darkness will take over. And you will be witnessed with this" soon the cute weird creepy bunny bat like creature turns into my worst nightmare. A dead corpus. I jolt up screaming.
"Ugh Larry dude the fuck?" Sal says being woken up from my screaming. I'm shaking and hearing things so I'm not really hearing what he's saying. I whisper to myself. "It's not real it's not real it's not real. Help me god Satan fuck ass"
"Uh dude you're saying a bunch of gibberish are you ok?" Sal ask. I still don't hear him. I start banging my head against the wall.
"Larry???" Sal asks. I'm still not hearing him. I scream and keep banging my head against the wall. "MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!!" All I'm seeing is dead people. All the dead hanging lifeless horrible bloody gutty corpus. Sal hugs me "Larry! Larry snap out of it it's ok! I'm here!" He says. I'm hearing something but I'm not sure is him.
"Sal?!? Sal where are you?!? Hell men hell help death 1 v 4 a" I start saying gibberish again without even realizing. Sal just sits there hugging me and crying. "It's ok I'm here! I'm here larry! Please I'm here! Snap out of it!"
Eventually I snap out of it and pass out in his arms for a bit. I wake up.
"Sal?"
"Oh thank god" he says hugging me still crying a bit.
"What happened?!? Why are you crying??"
"Something similar to earlier but...worse. Are you ok?? Do you need anything?" He says while wiping his eyes.
"Meds"
"Are you sure? That's all?"
I nod. Not wanting to leave me he picks me up and takes me to my meds. He watches me like a hawk for the rest of the night. In the morning I wake up to a sleep deprived sal half way awake looking at me.
"Hey" he says
"Sal oh my god did you not sleep last night?"
"After that weird attack of yours? Hell no!"
"S sal you should have slept..."
"No it's ok I'll be ok just need my morning coffee."
I nod worried a bit.
