Terror's Agony

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

How do you fight your fears when the only thing left to fear is yourself? I am Jack Ridley. I am Dean Holster. I am Milo Walker. I am you. I am not your conscience, and I'm certainly more lethal than the devil on your shoulder, because I'm already in your head. You can read about what I did to them, to Jack and the others, but it won't stop me. It won't stop your fear from becoming a version of its own ever growing terror. If you're lucky, maybe that terror will be me. ................................................................................................. Excerpt: That's the only difference between you and me. I don't deny fear as my ruler, I don't deny that free will is only an unreachable illusion, a lifeless dream. Save some trouble and don't kid yourself, because the only thing you're going to learn from me is that letting go has always taken up the whole measly list of choices you have in your lifetime, and it's not even yours. I'm not going to trick you into thinking you have choices, so don't confuse me with your made-up conscience, because I'm real, and I'm angry.

Part 1:Terror's Agony

Jack Ridley has fought off his fear by striking it into the hearts of others, but nothing scares him more than the putrid stench of terror that clings to the air like a lifeline whenever he lets his wrath run wild.

The steady burn of his cigarette isn’t the only thing that could go up in flames.

Jack will start a fire so monstrous that not even the devil on his shoulder can reap what he sows.

How do you fight your fears when the only thing left to fear is yourself?
