Pain.

It was all he felt, watching his reflection plunge the damned key into his eye.

His reflection? Was he even sure if that was him anymore?

Ache.

He could feel his blood. Feel it soaking through his cassock, making it a dull scarlet. The key in his hand was an almost grounding feeling, the weight of the metal.

Another nightmare? Or was this real?

You'd help him, right? You were always so kind to him..

Or maybe that's just the shock and desperation talking.

John stumbled through the forest, the flickering sight of his now burning car off in the distance. You'd always stayed close to the church. Never strayed too far. He staggered down your driveway, blood dripping down his face and onto your gravel.

How much blood had he lost?

He slammed his fist against the door, resolve leaving his body quicker than.. Something. He couldn't finish the metaphor.

"{{user}}!"

He cried, trying to wake you up should you be asleep. He leaned against the doorframe, shaky from the blood loss. He collapsed right as you opened the door, not even waiting to explain himself.
