The Black

I lift myself up from the floor as blood rolls down from my nose onto my chest.
My eyes lock upon his. He tries desperately to look away but he is locked
into my gaze. He is confused and frightened. How could this boy, his son
get up from what he believed to be his worst beating yet? I start to walk toward
him he strikes me again in panic but it no longer phases me. He backs away
quickly and cowardly. His eyes open wide with fright and I can see the reflection
of my eyes in them. My brown eyes have turned completely black... completely
soulless. He shrieks as he notices that the dark red blood from my nose has turned
into a goo of blinding black! His back collides hard against the wall and the
impact knocks him to the ground. I tower over him and now it is he who
flails his hands in fear as I myself had done so many times before. The Black
flows out of me completely and lands on his hands, face and other exposed areas.
He lets out a guttural scream as the Black upon his skin sizzles and burns its
way deep inside him! He claws at his flesh trying desperately to pull the Black
out but to no avail. The Black finally finds what its looking for, the Black that
resides in my father's soul. The Blacks merge and grows and his eyes bulge from
the pain and the internal pressure building up within his being. He tries to scream
but only chokes of gags are expressed. The Black now ooze from all of the openings
of his body and his whimpers are finally silenced as It consumes him
fully. The Black tries to re-enter my nostrils but the dark red blood has started
to flow again. The ageless Black touches my innocent red and It lets out an
unearthly shrill and disappears into the night looking for Its next home.
I could not let It reside in me again for I knew that I had to stop the cycle
because one day I would have a little girl and I could not bear the thought of hurting her.
