The Month of No Gods

The Month of No Gods

Chapter One: Shizuo:

-Shizuo-

Hurt…

Beast.

She can’t come back. I shiver when I see her. I can still feel those blades against my skin.

Beast.

Slash. Slash. Slash.

Beast.

Why did she hate me? Did I make her mad somehow? I can still hear her voice in my head.

Beast. Beast. Beast.

Too bright! Why is that damn light always on? It hurts my eyes. Why won’t it go away?

Beast. Beast.

She’s whispering in my ear again. She can’t be back. I made her go quiet. She must have said something to me when I snapped. I couldn’t fully understand her. Her voice sounded grabbled together. I just ran forward and it got quiet. She gasped and the blades disappeared.

Beast. Beast. Beast. Beast. Beast.

She wasn’t smiling anymore.

Beast.

She didn’t make a sound.

Beast. Beast. Beast.

Why can’t they turn off that damn light?! I don’t know where I am. Humans dragged me out of that dark place and brought me here. I can’t move. I keep hearing a buzzing noise around my head. She isn’t talking right now. I can’t see their faces. They look like static-filled shadows in front of me. They always talk in a whisper. I can’t understand what they are saying. I couldn’t understand what she was saying either.

I am a beast.

One word she said kept repeating in my head.

Monster.

I am a monster.

I saw her teeth when she said that. It still gives me chills. They shine like those blades in her hands. Worse than this light I am trapped under. Why can’t they turn it off? They tried to take my head off. It felt like they were going to tear it off from neck. That’s right, my head was stitched on. She did this to me.

Beast.

I don’t know why she hurt me like this. Then there is her laughing. Oh. Her laughing. I heard it the same time the blades danced in front of me.

Monster!

Turn that damn light off!

Beast! Monster!

I am alone down here. They left me down here. They are scared of me. That’s why I am trapped down here. She said I was a monster after all. Maybe that’s why she tried to kill me with her blades.

Monster! Beast!

Hurt… So thirsty… Hungry… I can’t move. My body… so sore…

You are a beast!

She comes and she goes. She’s quiet again. I don’t know when she will be back. I don’t know when I will get out of here. Maybe I am better off down here.

You are a beast! You are a beast!

That damn light never goes off. I can’t stand it anymore. Why can’t they make it go away? My eyes hurt.

You are a beast!

I froze as I heard a whoosh noise further down in front of me. Footsteps walked up to me. That other woman came back again. She always seems so sad.
