"Thats tragic!" Lua gasped. "How is your wrist now?"
Sketchy looked at it, now unbandaged after many years of damage. All that was left behind was a dented, bright red scar.
"It's better. It will never go away though." Sketchy shook his head. "It's just like the thoughts. No matter what, nothing stops them."
"I can agree with you on that." Lua said.
Sketchy looked at him. "... So today I feel was the day to finish what I started."
Lua's face immediatley shrunk. "Wait wait wait.. huh?"
"And this time there will be no one to stop me.." Sketchy looked straight at Lua. "I'm afraid you're going to be the first to go.."Lua got out of his chair. "W-What do you mean? I-I.." He started to back away from Sketchy.
"Please, there's no need to back away." He said to him in a playful manner. "I've already done my damage."
Lua's eyes widened. Everything around him was changing. "W-What's going on??"
"It must be kicking in," Sketchy said, amused.
"What's kicking in??" Lua started breathing heavily.
"You didn't notice before?" He raised his eyebrows. "I poisoned your tea."Lua was losing all sense of reality. Left to right were incomprehensible visions. He broke down onto the floor coughing up blood.
His arms were weak, and they were shaking.
Help!! Please!! Anybody!!
That's all he wanted to say. He couldn't get a word out though.
His body had already shut down by then."....And that would make you, number 7. The first to leave our little community! Oh you poor thing.." Sketchy put his hand on Lua's back. It was warm. His entire body was warm. Really warm. It must have gotten really hot after being exposed to the poison.
Sketchy picked up his body like a ragdoll. "Ahaha, he's a cute one too. Look at this little kitten!" He dragged him back to his chair.Sketchy talked to Lua's dead body for a long period of time. Sometimes, he would get mad when Lua is silent. Even though, he can't talk. He was nothing but a body now.
A weak and disgusting object.
