It's dark. And it stays dark. And that doesn't change.
There's light, but only for a second. And it's blinding so it hardly matters. Because now she's there and nothing's changed and it's dark.
"And you'll betray them for me'
He knows she's there. Even if it's dark and he can't see her because he's going to die. He'll really die this time. They're in his head. The snakes. Are in his head. They're black and they're going to kill him.
"Won't you?"
Even now, when he can't see, he knows. Because the snakes are writhing in his head. They're suffocating him. He's going to die.
"You will, you're such a good child."
And he doesn't want to but he doesn't have a face anymore. He's numb. He's smiling. He's going to die. Because he can't do anything else. There's just snakes. And the dark.
So kill them.
