Ruins pt. 23

They did something to him, those loose limbed, laughing people. 
Something poured out of them, into the bloody, ragged holes were the young man’s eyes had once been. 
Something black and oily. 

When they were done, they stepped back. 

The young man stood, his bones popping and cracking.
His body jerked hard. 
Then he lifted his head.
He joined in the chorus of sick, haunting laughter.

“Ren John, what are you watching?”
Nora was walking up behind me.

I tell her it was nothing. I was just on watch.
I turned her away from the window, leading her back to the bedroom that we all shared.

She could be spared this one horror.
