Descent into Madness (Other) by thepinkbunnyofdoom
Whispering Talking Shouting Voices surround me. Screams, Screams, It
feels as If the very walls Are Screaming. I open my eyes and to My own
surprise They are. Lips Down the corridor as far as the eye can see and
perhaps beyond. Their words merge together and Become nothing but a wave
of babble. As I feel my ears going numb there is silence. I have gone
deaf or perhaps mad but either way I canât hear them anymore. So I try
reading the lips one by one and I am forced to turn my head, even I hear
him. He has come. The Judge wearing his midnight cowl and the blindfold
but every step is as loud as a cannon blast. He has silenced them but
not for long. They begin whispering, and for my own sanity, I run toward
him, but he says âyour Day has not yet comeâ. So in a blinding flash,
I see every word as the chorus once again begins its eerie babbling,
and as I begin to collapse to the floor, I see there is none. What Iâm
standing on is literally the ink of my every written word. There is no
pressure beneath my feet and I begin to scream. Above me is sea of eyes.
They barely blink at my outrage and utter confusion.
As I huddle closed into only myself, trying to ignore the very fabric of
existence, I can feel the eyes growing hungry, and one tone growing
above all others, sounds from the broken voices. Angery shouts and the
need to devour anything that stands out, the walls begin to shake and
the weight of my words fades and I have nothing. The lips surround me
and cut my flesh with their tongues. Words with which before only stung
now rip the very marrow from my bones. All that is left is an empty
skull and a lone blood cell, but like Prometheus there is no end to this
hell. Once again I begin to hear the voices. First just the Whispers,
then the Talking, and the Screaming, the Screaming, The VeRy WaLLS ARE
SCREAMING. Then the vision returns and I can see that the words below
are not mine but I am made from then. I would have begun to ponder this
thought but there is silence once again. Then I hear him saying, âyour
Day has not yet comeâ. I manage to cry out, âWhen will this endâ
and his reply is âyour Day has not yet come and this one is not yet
doneâ. Then while asking myself the meaning of that in confusion I cry
out "let it end" and then Once again I am eaten.
As the sound grows once again from whispers I am concentrating on my
words. When the eyes return I realize that I keep building myself back
up but each time a little less. I barely notice as I am Judged but I
yell my utter outrage. As the words consume me Still I Shout. I am
reborn and from the bottom my lungs I Yell. I donât pause for my
judgment just I Scream and I Scream and I Scream. Even though I am Numb
still I Cry out. My guts have stopped growing back but I Scream on,
because that is all I have. Finally when my throat is dry and my voice
dead and gone, All that are left are the paper thin flesh and a few
bones and my face, I am Judged again. This time I take a desperate fist
and tackle The unexplained Justice and Remove the hood. Only to behold
with my very eyes that the woman with the might of a man was blind.
Without Voice I could say nothing and so I didnât. I could have beaten
Justice till she was black and blue but It wouldnât have changed my
fate and so I helped her up and sat to await my fate when faintly I
heard âsometimes justice must be pushed down before she can standâ.
I stared in black confusion and listened as she decreed me free. Thus I
awoke this morning in a cold sweat feeling sore and not well rested, but
something inside of me felt at ease.
