I'm going insane.
I've seen him, it, I'm not sure but I've seen it. In the corner of my eye, only when I'm alone, refusing to be known or truly seen in detail. It runs the second I try to look. It'll sit in the corner of a room or place its hand on my shoulder from behind but the second I look, nothing.
It's black, the purest obsidian black with skin like one scar on the earth. But not its teeth or its eyes and especially not its wings, all the purest white. White that doesn't exist in the human world white that doesn't belong on earth.
It's been coming for the past few months but today was different.
Today I didn't look.
And it spoke to me. It spoke in the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. A voice that could warm the coldest heart, a voice of nectar and honey.
It told me in that paralyzing voice. "They are forgetting us Austin. Even you don't believe Austin. All of you will love him again and you're going to help us Austin regardless of what you want.
