Episode 119-Octave-Torment
I stood there, motionless. The concrete walled, grey colored room was my only worry at the moment. Behind me stood a door, the only exit for Jeremiah, who unfortunately will not be accessing anytime soon. I looked down at my hands, my weapons, the skin hiding under black rubber gloves. My hands consciously moved all over my body, across my torso, being a bleached white shirt, past my legs, wearing only faded blue jeans and stretching all the way down to my feet, which were left bare. The only area of my body that was not protected was my head, but I had no reason for it to be masked. I had no hair to get covered in blood and my glasses were replaceable. I took a deep breath and slowly walked over to the center of

Jeremiah chuckled, “You know, it doesn’t sound as scary when you just have that flat voice of yours. Not to mention if I die, Metatron will just bring me back to life.”
“You’re right” I said “What was I thinking?” Though my lips were closed my teeth were tightly clenched. “This is getting nowhere!” I thought to myself, “I’m too rusty, I should have brushed up on my integration skills before hand, I just need to get something out of him.” That’s when it hit me, the question that had been in the back of my mind ever since I heard of what Jeremiah has done. I placed my hands on the table and turned my head and looked at Jeremiah who only looked at me with one eye, thinner then usually, he was possibly extremely agitated, I just ejaculated on him, he probably didn’t enjoy, but I would have, “Jeremiah, I have a serious question for you, and I would like for you to tell the

    Dawn broke to an explosion of bird songs, the cacophony startling Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. But after several minutes, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow to the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

    The earth beneath their feet had long since morphed into oozing, black mud that sucked at their feet and legs. The pounding of artillery shells, the booming of massive guns, the sharp crack of rifles, and the smell of gunpowder were without pause. Blood-splattered bodies were sprawled on the trenches. The screams of agony and the earth-shattering crashes of shells would be enough to drive even the most stalwart to insanity.…

    “Wait… I was under the impression that all infected areas been quarantined at this point,” Governor Lewis proclaimed. Everyone at the table kept their mouths shut, as they felt an intensity that would soon escalate into power struggle steadily increasing. “Governor!” Hanes said, sternly as he raised his voice back at Lewis while pounding his fist on the conference table. “This sickness has covered two major cities, several states, scores of counties, and a myriad of townships and municipalities throughout the northeastern corridor in less than a week.…

    Bullets whizzed overhead hell-bent on hitting their targets. James pressed himself against the mud wall of the trench, as if by doing so it would take him away from the corner of hell that his old naive self had willingly entered. Allied planes tore through the open sky with kamikazes right on their tails. Gaping holes left in the ground by heavy artillery were full with stagnant water and the rotting corpses of dead soldiers, their weapons bent and rusted displaying a haunting past that time wouldn't forget.…

    BROOKLYN, NEW YORK 1942 Steve sat quietly, hands tucked in his lap in the poorly-lit theater. For about 20 minutes, the white sheet had broadcasted war propaganda: little boys pulling dirty red wagons missing wheels, collecting scraps of metal for the war effort, soldiers hiding in ditches, clutching helmets to their heads and rifles to their chests, the sound of bombs exploding and tanks firing seemingly unnecessarily loud in Steve’s ears. A booming voice described the terrors soldiers faced in the battlefield, and it was so graphic and in so much detail that Steve felt he was there to fight with them. He almost forgot what he went there to see in the first place. Steve was mesmerized by the scene, like the way unwanted tears swell up in…

    I only watched helplessly as the turquoise vase wobbled off of its shelf, seemingly falling in slow motion until it hit the cold stone, erupting in a firework of glass. He swiveled his head around, eyes widened, pale face, and trembling hands. My hands automatically went up to clasp my mouth, muffling a scream that never came out. He looked at me, and I looked at him. I looked at him, and he looked at me.…

    I stared ahead into the darkness. I could barely see a faded black and white picture of my best friend on the ceiling along with a sticker from the musical group we were in. Lost in my nostalgia I failed to notice the male hand approaching me. I snapped out of my reverie when the cold hand forcefully lifted me from my bed and gripped my throat. My arm was temporarily forgotten, but I didn’t particularly care for that model, it was just a cheap plastic one.…

    As I descended upon the field of Somme, a chill trembled down my spine. The trembling nerves and hairs standing up on pale goose-flesh were not from fear of the bullets whistling past my head nor of the walls of gas rolling across the trenches in deadly silence, after all what need Death fear of such mortal things? No, it was my sixth sense, a trait shared among all reapers, that my target was near by. Settling upon the ground and observing the bleak landscape of no man’s land, I could see a multitude of other Reapers going about their work like silent shades amongst the dead and dying in the trenches. Scenes painted by wars such as this one made busy work days for the likes of we haunted few, perhaps I knew some of those flitting apparitions,…
