All I grasped was an empty crumpled pack. With my last anchor towards the outside world crushed in-between my hand's, reality collapsed.
What replaced it was a psyche brutalized by its owner's sins. Turbid waves of rancid filth were drudged up and splattered against my shins, whipped up into a frenzy by the tempestuous stormclouds above. Behind me stood a dam of cobblestone. Interestingly enough it protected nothing, an abyss was all that lay behind.
My eyes were forced forward as an agonizing scream tumbled across the *white-capped waves. They widened as the earth beneath me shifted from the power of its rage.
In front of me stood some sort of fiend risen from the murky depths. Clear blue eyes pierced and anchored me into place. With another bellow, it started running towards me at an inhuman pace. The rotting uniform on its body disintegrated with every loping bound and before I could think he was in my face.
The monster threw a quick left hook that planted itself firmly into my gut. A searing pain followed a sick squelch as my liver burst. Before I could puke an overhead right uppercut followed, only a chunk of my nose was torn out as I bent over. Taking advantage of my bent frame, I Lunged forward with arms outstretched, both of us collapsing into the knee-deep sea. His light frame allowed me to get on top.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Punching down hard, my knuckles cracked against bone as the carbon fiber did its job. The beast thrashed out with hooked claws stabbing into my left shoulder and slowly worked down, emancipating the bicep from its skin. Tears streaked down my face as the brawl continued.
Trading blows adrenaline seemed to pump through my veins keeping me sane. The pain subdued by my burning will to live. My gloves shattered upon its skull, tearing off chunks of the scalp; gouging into bone.
It retaliated by tearing the flesh out of my sides. His claws slowly making its way up inside my chest, searching for my lungs. As he finally tore out the small intestine, whatever was keeping me afloat waned with my strength. A profound hollowness filled me as my life-blood poured over the demon's chest. I started to give up.
Time seemed to slow down as the mangled face of my enemy shot up and bit my lower left jaw. It pulled with all its strength, tearing off the left side of my face and throwing me off it into the sea around us.
Landing on my back a wail of despair passed my bloodied lips as I finally took the time to look around and found that it wasn't alone.
Dozens of beasts, nothing more than a caricature of human anatomy surrounded us. Their gaze tearing into me with an infernal rage, my executioner just one among many. He clambered up with a taxing effort before standing over what was left of my body. I closed my eyes with the futile hope that he would kill me quickly.
