Suddenly, he realized what he'd done. Hundreds of people mutilated and raped, and all of it was his fault. He'd given the Sick Man the help he needed to perform all those acts of atrocity.
And as he begins to understand the full gravity of his actions, the screams and wails of all those tortured souls creep into his mind. He falls to his knees and grips the sides of his head. The walls of the apartment begin to shake as the volume begins to increase and reverberate in his skull. He clenches his teeth and flexes his muscles trying to keep it all inside. And then, he can't hold it in any longer.
He falls over and screams as his body seizures in agony. When it's all over, he curls up on the floor and puts his face in his hands. And for the first time in ten thousand years, God cries.
-From "The Book of Lore", a chapter of "Society: Zero"
sun shines through haze
i put my thoughts
toward future days
it's no surprise
i close my eyes
and close the door
