“I’d rather believe in NOTHING, than to believe in something that doesn’t make SENSE!” Froud spits venomously, while clumsily removing Shaun’s league jacket before thrusting it into the ground. “H-HEY!” Shaun bellows with eyes wide and arms held out to the side in protest. “WHAT?” Froud remarks with pointed finger, “YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO…

“Put the gun down and dance with me s-sugar! Y-You KNOW i-it AIN’T f-fair t-to knock it i-if you HAVEN’T e-even tried it! A-And I can promise YOU, o-once you try it you won’t wanna e-ever knock it AGAIN!” he roars with a jovial laugher, while dancing around the room. He comes to a stop…

“Cadavers! Every last one of them!” Stewie spits with ferocious intent, twisting his nose towards the air and allowing the sneer to growl across his tepid lips. “It’s a bit heartless, isn’t it?” “Heartless would be to give them false hopes, when there is no hope, not for any of them. But us,” he says…

“So it has come here to end, the place where it all started, how convenient,” Dale snarls as he clutches the shovel tightly. “Are we safe to assume that it’s definitely a nest, and not a sole ghoul or two like the trapper said back in town?” “It’s definitely a nest, the damage to the…

He looks across the boneyard, eyeing each of the rotting carcasses with a look of disgust upon his brow. “Seventeen good women have fallen for YOUR cause, yet you still stand tall but not with them. Why is that? Why are you not here among the dead like the true martyr you are destined to…

He chews his bottom lip, as he looks hesitantly into the camera. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, it’s not like I don’t deserve it,” he says as he lets a stuttered breath out, and closes his eyes as he takes a deep breath in. “I wasn’t who I wanted to be anyway, not that…

“Yeah, you heard me RIGHT! THEY FUCKING STOLE it from ME like it was THEIRS to begin with!” he spits through bloody lips. “THEY used MY night, MY power, to build their SINKING empire on while I faded away into NOTHING!” “I wouldn’t say you faded into nothing Samael.” she purrs with a cheeky smile…

“Childish behaviour like this will only delay the inevitable, not avoid it!” Syrian spits through his rotten teeth. “I nurtured you into adulthood, I helped build your legacy, and I feel I deserve some type of admiration for it instead of pranks better left to those that can pull them off!” “You’re just jealous because…

The Worm turns its ugly face towards the sun and grimaces with a distain unlike any it has felt before, then turns to the others and allows a stuttered breath to leave its lips. “We are going to bake in this weather if we don’t find some avenue of shelter, and if we bake, everyone…

“I never spoke to anyone else about what you did, I swear, I told them what you wanted me to tell them and nothing else. I SWEAR!” Fergus spits with envious eyes through desperate lips. Nick smiles allows a stifled laugh to escape his throat, “I know it wasn’t you, that’s why you’re still breathing…

The last breath leaves Clifford’s body, and the room falls silent, as all eyes turn towards the floor, and nay the sound of those in attendance breathing is all that fills the room. But for Clifford, it is a whole different world that is thrust at his feet.He falls through the air at a rate…

“I can’t believe that’s what it truly is, I mean, if they’re real what else is?” he asks as he turns back and looks at the others in a perplexed manner. “Daddy said your imagination is only as strong as your belief, and if you believe enough, anything is possible.” Patrick rolls his eyes and…

Trevor looks out over the golden hills and takes a gently sip on the warm cup of coffee that he cradles tightly in his hands. A flock of bird’s swim past in the bright blue sky, singing a song that you would believe was recorded in a studio, rather than being constructed before your eyes.…

“There was so many moments d-during all this t-t-that I truly thought I wouldn’t make it back home, b-b-back to you. I-I-I, I thought after risking everything and anything I had to a-along the way, i-it would e-ensure m-my destiny w-w-would bring m-me home. B-B-But,” he stammers as he looks towards the ground in awkward…

“D-Did you s-see it?” Salomon stammers as he looks back over to Debbie with wide wild eyes before looking back over to the doorway. “I-I-It’s t-t-there!” he adds as he points to the floorboards then looks back at Debbie once more. She looks at him and smiles nervously as she shakes her head. “N-No, I…

The ball falls awkwardly from his hand and hits the ground with several loud, unmissable clangs and bangs, bringing all eyes upon the small group. At first they all stare without recognition of what they are staring at, but as they slowly process the sounds made by the falling ball, things form, things that fumble…
