As the sun sets on the distant horizon, fresh air invades the senses.
Memories meld with conscience and are burned into the fiery dusk at our back.
The future is ahead... and the all that lies behind is the void.

Lots of talk about the soul these days... afterlife... heaven and hell...
Heh.. ya know.. Not one of them compares to starin' into the eyes of a dead man.
You think so? I always have found it haunting... like staring into a shell.. it could be staring ya right in the face, but ya know something's just not there anymore ..
And there in lies the fruit of knowledge... there in lies the void. There in lies the most human and realistic proof of the soul.
So you're saying the absence is the proof?
The absence is the void and the only true contrast.
Heh.. fuckin' creepy if you ask me..
Well I didn't...
Asshole.

Nothing more hopeful than new days ahead and a fresh start… Nothing more destitute than those days gone by to the same old story…

We roll into town around the witching hour… looking for shelter to rest our bones. Nothing better to clear your head than a good ole' dose of solitude… Bandits on the run take solace in a sleeping town swallowed in the dead of night. Not a soul around… Nothing but the void

Ya know it's never gonna work.
What are you talkin' about...?
Runnin'... it's never gone work...
Shut Up! Wasn't any point in stickin' around...
Heh... Well you can run all you want, but at the end of the day... you are still there as soon as you turn around.
Well if you're lucky we'll find the end of the world, and walk right off it.
Shows what you know... I am the end of the world.... and where its begins again!!
Well wait till I get my hands on some tools... I'll help you off to the next life...
You ain't got the guts kid...
OK... just wait.
Waiting... (Grin bears razor sharp teeth like knives below hovering fiery orbs in a veil of darkness)

Shattered glass rips through subconscious - adrenaline flows like a river to the pyramid in my brain.
Heart beats give cadence to the night, stealth over comes instinct as that same old haunting voice fills the darkness.

HAHAHAH - Keep doin' what you've always done and keep gettin' what you've always gotten
SHUT YOUR FUCKIN' MOUTH!!! This is survival of the fittest..
HAH! Yeah if that were the case, you would have been destroyed along time ago... - No this is self fulfillment….
You have no idea what your talkin' about... He attacked me!!
Did he? Oh, where was I... to me it looked like your reaction just followed your instinct..same old same old.
Fuck.... what a great start to a new life...
Like I said... you can't run from what you are... You are predator... And they the prey...
NO!! You are the predator... Your heart beats so loud it drives me insane..
But its by YOUR hand... Don't try to lay the blame on me..

Good thing he's got an incinerator... it's like it was fate...
Yeah you can tell yourself that... keep on runnin'.

The aroma of dirt washes over me. Clouds flee from a glorious full moon. Must had been hours that have passed by.
As the earth comes into perspective I notice I'm covered in blood that's not my own.. yet for this brief moment I am alone in silence. Time to get movin'.........
