On Death and Dying

She didn't hear the voices over the screams. She couldn't see their faces passed the shadow demons. Darkness was all she knew, and it pushed her down and tried to swallow her whole. For the longest time she wanted to let it do just that, to take away all the pain and fear that swirled around her mind. It pushed her further and further into the ground, until the pressure made it feel like her spine was about to snap. She kicked and lashed out, but there was a weight over her. Finally the murmurs started to reach her, but they sounded so far away, like at the end of a cave. She tried to focus but the pressure on her brain kept her under. Her name was like poison off their tongues, it dripped down on her fur and burned like hell fire itself. Her lid was pushed open and her eyes snapped open, her mouth opening as she screamed. She screamed in sheer terror, feeling that the pressure on her body was real. There was something on top of her, something trying to keep her legs down. She kept screaming and tried to thrash under their weight, her head shaking back and forth in the ground. She didn't feel the rock behind her, but she could feel the hard ground biting into her right side. Shapes loomed around her, their faces breaking away to show rows and rows of sharp teeth. They snapped towards her, saliva dripping from their grotesque maws. Fear pulsed off of her blood coated form as her screams refused to die down. Her pupils were so heavily dilated that the black nearly swallowed all the blue, and everything took a darker tinge. Finch couldn't see Starling and Lillie's faces passed the demons that took over their forms. Her head was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to split in two, and her terrorized screams weren't going to help. Her body convulsed as she gagged again, but even as her stomach heaved nothing came up. Her whole stomach was already empty, and it convulsed painfully. She felt like her stomach was going to come up her throat itself. Her fear locked eyes locked onto the face of what was supposed to be Starling, but all she could see was the demon mouth. Her focus didn't last long as her eyes rolled into the back of her head, her body starting to thrash wildly as a seizure took over her body. Her screams died down to pitiful whines as drool poured from her mouth. There was no control in her movements, limbs flailing wildly as her eyes stayed rolled backwards. Her mind emptied as she moved like a fish out of water, there didn't seem to be an end to it all. "CIVETTA SPEAK" |
