The Evil Within

We arrived on the scene.

 

Joseph, Julie, and... Me.

 

It wasn't pretty.

 

Red, red, red.

 

All over the walls and floors.

 

People in an eternal sleep.

 

But the viewed brutality was not of importance.

 

As I appeared infront of a hunter,

 

Wielding a beast who's tongue lashed out.

 

Rotating quickly, with sharp metal teeth all around.

 

I started a sprint, he started a swing.

 

My leg.

 

Red, Red, Red.

 

Limping.

 

Praying.

 

Elevator infront.

 

Doors open.

 

Limping.

 

Praying.

 

Collapsing inside.

 

Doors shut.

 

...

 

I'm alive.

 

I opened a flask, taking a sip.

 

Yet I felt no concern for Joseph, nor Julie.

 

I sit upright in bed, concerned for myself.

 

It was just a dream.

 

As now I realize what evil lies within.
