And Reality, It Fails

DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT
"He doesn't feel anything.

He feels nothing until something around him whirrs to life and a low voice begins speaking.

"Showtime already? I am experiencing a malfunction. The recharge cycle is not complete."

Gregory is frozen in a daze, unsure if this is some fucked up dream or not. The panic begins setting in less than a second into thinking about how he knows he just died, how it felt so real, and that the fear and sheer terror were too strong to be in his head.

Then, the small hatch around him begins to feel even smaller, and the safe nook his head is nestled in reminds him all too vividly of an orange beak and white solid block teeth.

Gregory screams."

Warnings: If you are easily unsettled by gore or graphic depictions of bodily mutilation, DO NOT READ THIS! If you are highly sensitive to topics such as suicidal thoughts, spirals into insanity, mental breakdowns, violence, panic and anxiety attacks, or anything else that you would imagine is associated with somebody stuck in a death loop, DO NOT READ THIS! Those with emetophobia should also probably avoid this, too. I will not be holding back anything and will be making this brutally graphic and detailed. If you choose to not read the description or the warning chapter, that is on you and you alone. Do not come after me for your own errors. Be aware that not all of what happens is completely accurate to how it would happen in real life, and I've taken some creative liberties as it already incorporated numerous elements that cannot happen in the real world, such as clipping through walls.
