Marcus couldn't believe his eyes as they fell upon the three mutilated men on the floor. Gashed open with a large knife the woman still held, their bellies were completely hollowed out. There were no organs to be found, and from the gashes that covered the men's arms, Marcus could tell they hadn't gone down without a fight. With horror, Marcus was able to locate the organs, having to suppress his urge to vomit. The intestines hung around the proximity of the shop's interior, mimicking the appearance of rusted Christmas tinsel. They were still wet with blood, painting the floors and display shelves with the sticky redness of Christmas joy. The organs, such as the lungs and Kidneys, were hung on a fake little oak tree that was promoting fire safety with a Smokey the Bear cutout. Smokey was holding this little tray that should have been filled with safety matches, but instead held three hearts. Marcus watched as one of the hearts fatally tried to keep its duties and quivered until it ultimately died. ------------------------- Marcus Oliver was already having a really bad day, which only gets worse with the introduction of his weird son who is constantly letting loose useless factoids, a nut-case mother in law who cannot let go of every bad thing he ever did, and a lunatic wearing a fedora who is technically a cyborg. Oh yeah, and there are rabid humans bent on destroying everything in their path. Those too.
