"You stare at the abyss too long" a shadow whispered.

"I see a broken man in that abyss,he is trying to come up" Krist said.

In the midst of a creepy dark tropical forest.

'Doctor Doctor Doctor, still in your labcoat uniforms.They do bring a certain sense of control with them,don't they.' The green hair devil said to Krist with his creepy voice,the voice resonating in the creepy dark tropic where Krist stood in the middle of nowhere looking for the source of the voice.

'Well.... that does seem to be the predominant opinion among the bird,the cats and the bats.'

'Nevertheless,I do assure you this sense of control is just an illusion or....maybe a mad person's delusion?'

"I'm... I'm not mad" Krist refuted back stammering.

'Oh,but you must be or you wouldn't be here.' the person suddenly appeared at Krist back  and brought his arms around Krist,whispering those words to Krist whose labcoat somehow had magically been torn from him and replaced by another attire.

Krist woke up suddenly.

Krist POV

I desperately wished It was just a nightmare....because the truth was quite disturbing.

He got under my skin......

I didn't just snap out of that dream sweaty...

I woke up wet!

Yes.... I see a broken man in the abyss....

I reached out to help him out.....

But,every time my hand almost...almost touch his hand,he slips,fall a little bit deeper.

Tunnel visioned, I followed,determined to get him out,I descended.

I'll help you

I'll save you

He would slip.....I would step deeper into the darkness.

I realized it too late.....

He wasn't slipping

He was.....luring me!

"Am a comedian,this city is my stage and everyone in it are my audience,am the one to tell the joke,not you." Simba had his hand firmly at Krist's throat,choking the life out of him.

"B-But Sing I thought.... " Krist held the hand choking him trying hard to speak but his speech was interfered.

"No,you don't think Krist. You are just a prop at my disposal,you are like a rubber chicken,I squeeze you then you scream that's all." Simba suddenly choked Krist harder.

"Aaaaaaarghhhh" Krist screamed.

"Am I clear?"

Every now and then I see it and I know...He will be the death of me.

"Y-Yes Master."

But I stay...

"Good, Good."

Because when the rage becomes tranquil I see it again.....
Deep in that abyss I see the man with broken bones.

An abdicated logical part of me screams RUN!
It's a trap, it's a lie!

I desperately drown it's voice.
Because.....if I get down a bit more.
If I extend my hand a bit deeper into this darkness I can reach him..... I can help him......
