Into the darkness

Who Are You?

"What a tasty meal am I right or what?" I said out loud leaving the alleyway. 'People are probably going to think your crazy if they hear you talking out loud' Abyss said to me in my head. "Yeah your probably right" I laughed. I walked for about three hours before I got to a park and sat down to relax for a bit. 'I need to think about my next move if I'm going to want to make this city cower,' I thought to myself and laughed.

'Well I better get going' I got up and started walking, as I reached the more lively scene of the city, I could see bars, dine ins and strip clubs. 'Hmm where should I go first' I decided to go to one of the strip clubs. As I entered I could hear music, blue lights everywhere and hollering. I take a seat in the back, I could see guys throwing five and ten dollar bills on stage for the lady's. Someone got up and tried grabbing one of the girls on stage, she slapped him across the face and went in the back.

The guy sat back down and was laughing with his friends. "God damn Jasper your fucking crazy" his friend said. "I was just trying to see if she wanted a real man, instead of these punks." He said, chuckling. "Who are you calling a punk you bitch." A guy said from behind him. "Oh you talking to me? I couldn't hear you pal." The guy that got slapped said. The guy that called him a bitch got out of his chair and got in the other man's face. "Why don't we take this outside, and I'll show you who's the punk." The man got up and grabbed the guy by the throat and slammed him on the table and pulled out a switchblade.

"Now now buddy, why take this outside? If you were a real man you wouldn't be scared to fight in front of others." The man said while having the switchblade against the guy's throat. I could see the bouncers heading towards the ruckus that was happening. "Jasper let's go before we get thrown out for good this time." His friend said while tugging at his shirt to get him off the guy. The man started laughing hysterically and pulled his knife away from the man's throat "I was just playing, it wasn't like I was going to slit your throat and see you gargle on your blood." He said while walking away. 'Now that's a guy I could see myself being friends with' I was thinking.

I got up and left the club, as I got outside I looked up. I could see the sky was getting brighter, I checked my phone to see what time it was. 'Damn it's already 5:40 in the morning' I thought to myself. I started walking and headed for the park, I was at before the club. As I got closer I could see someone sitting at the bench. 'Well looks like we're going to have a late night snack' I thought. As I got even closer to the bench, I recognized who it was, the guy on the bus with the strange goggles.

"Don't you know it's dangerous to be out at night, especially at parks?" I said to him. I looked up and down at him, there was something about him. He didn't seem scared. 'Maybe I'll show him how dangerous it is by showing him true darkness' As I was about to unleash the darkness from my body, he lit a cigarette. "If your going to kill me then get it over with, I'm not afraid to die." He said and looked at me. As we made eye contact I could see it, the look in the eyes of a man that wishes for death, I know that look because I had the same look when my father would beat me.

'This is someone who has nothing left to lose, he doesn't deserve to die even though I see he wants to' I thought to myself. "Sorry I thought you were someone else, my name is Ab-Mathew" I said to him. He got up and took another drag from his cigarette. "It's all good, my name is Luke. I have to go but stay safe out here because don't you know?" He said to me, I looked at him confused. "Its dangerous to be out at night, especially at parks." He said, smirking at me. I chuckled "yeah true."

He walked away into the night. I sat down, so I could rest and think about what I'm going to do tomorrow. 'Man, I never thought I'd see that look in someone else's eyes other than my own, who was that?' I thought to myself as I drifted away into sleep. I kept waking up off and on, even though my father's dead I still have nightmares about him. I sat up and looked around. It was daytime, I must've been asleep for hours.

I put on my coat and got to walking. Now, I think it's time to see how far I can push this new me. I walk around looking for somewhere I can eat some food, if you count human flesh and blood being food. I see a nice bar at the end of the street corner, as I get closer I start thinking about how I'm going to do this. 'It's time to show this city will never be safe again' I thought to myself. I walk into the bar, its a lot. dimmer in here than outside, they always have bars so dim probably to help the gloomiest people that comes in.

I take a seat at a booth and wait, wait for the right moment to unleash. An hour has past and I barley have touched my soda, I don't want soda. I crave something more, something a little more fresh. There are now six people in the bar including me, I take a deep breath and unwind. The darkness starts to leave my body and move along every inch of space and light, consuming it.

"Woah hey what the hell?" The bartender calls out. "What the fuck is this stuff?" A customer says. "I can't see, help I'm blind" another calls out. I get up and let my Abyss form start to come out. "You all are clueless, you go about your life thinking your at the center, not realizing how small you make yourselves" I called out. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" a guy called out. He probably can now see my pure white eyes, and razor sharp teeth spread across my face.

"Let's eat" I said out loud. I go for the closets one and bury my teeth into his chest, ripping his heart out. Blood squirting from his heart and chest, he drops to the floor as I swallow his once beating heart. I go for the next and the next and the next, each one missing a heart. 'I'll come back to them and eat some more' I thought to myself. I float through the darkness to the counter and see the bartender holding a gun. I laughed out loud and said in a demonic voice "that won't save you now, not even god himself will save you" and right after I rip his face off with my hands, just the face. So, he could feel the pain as he screamed out in pain.

I go back to the others and eat here and there, eating their insides, their eyes, and their hands. As I finished I could no longer hear the screams, the bartender must have passed out from shock. 'He's still breathing, good, now he can tell the public what has been done here, that the darkness is alive.'
