The man stared at David with sunken eyes. It was as though he knew some truth that escaped David through his years on Earth. As though, this vagrant found a peace that was at once terrifying, even paralyzing so, yet humbling and tranquil within the same gasp.
A man with an eye patch and a dirty bandage covering his left hand approaches our protagonist. He tells him of a group who meet and boast divine truths. To get in he must learn the first universal rule. To learn this rule they forcibly take a part of his body. Finger. Hand. Eye. Toe. Kidney. Whatever. Flesh is mortal. Flesh is a cage. Flesh is nothing. Bound to your flesh, binds of fear. Instinct to live, like a roach under foot.
Take your time reading this. I would like to live as long as possible within your thoughts.
