    cold.

    a sharp inhale as dead man walking is reanimated once more. dull eyes snap open, and anthony is greeted not by trees, but by the cracked garage ceiling. dim light filters in through the singular grimy window, casting shadows across the pathetic excuse for a ‘bedroom’. vision blurs at the edges as he sits up, a spark crawling up his spine and blooming at the base of his skull. gaze falls to the bloodied bandages on his arm, and he remembers

    a sharp chillllllllchillcoldcoldcoldcold as his feet hit the floor. he has half the mind to lay back down, but davey’s voice on the other side of the curtain is 

    YOU USED HIM! YOU COULD HAVE DESTROYED HIM! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN THIS, SAM!

    rising steadily with his temper. when davey gets like this, you’re the only one who can get him to

     ‘ at least they used the right name. ‘

     head hangs low, gaze fixed on the freshly fallen snow at his feet, avoiding the tombstone a mere few feet in front of him. ‘ i know, it’s, uh. a little late for me to be caring- like, at all. and i know it makes me a massive fucking hypocrite. i mean, who am i fooling by coming here, right? ‘ not yourself, that’s for sure. cas is the one who said talking to him ( aka, the shell buried six feet under ) would help, somehow. now that anthony’s standing here, he isn’t so sure.

     gaze finally lifts to meet the grave before him, OWEN NATHANIEL WRIGHT etched into the stone. ‘ . . . i’m gonna be honest, owen, i don’t. know what to say. ‘ a shaky inhale, frigid air burning his lungs. ‘ i could say sorry, but that just feels stupid. it’s not like it matters anyways, right? sorry won’t change anything. it won’t stop me from leaving you. it won’t bring you back. ‘ and that’s the worst thing about all of this, isn’t it? knowing that there’s no way to fix it, no way to take everything back. knowing that you fucked up so tremendously, so irreversibly-

     you were so close to grabbing his arm if you had moved faster you would’ve caught him he’d still hate you but he’d be fine now he’d be alive what the fuck were you thinking he just wanted to talk you killed him what the fuck is wrong with you he was just a kid and now he’s nothing

     -knowing that this is entirely your fault.

     fingers curl, uncurl, curl, knuckles turning white as nails dig into his palms. ‘ i am, though. sorry, i mean. i know you hated it when i got like this, and i know it doesn’t even fucking matter because it’s not like you can hear me anyways, but i’m- ' tears are spilling down his face now, breath hitching on a sob. ‘ fuck, owen, i am so, so sorry.

for some reason, they leave it all behind.

it’s bad luck for them, but good luck for you.

sometimes we roll up the door praying for a big score only to find a pile of shit on the other side.

may he rest in peace up there, down there, or wherever he may be.

you’ve gotta give me some room.

before we get to that, i wanna show you something.

remember, i’m the one tipped you off.

i’m sorry for your troubles, but they’re not mine.

i said, i hope you rot in hell!

don’t be a hypocrite like everyone else.

how the fսck do you bring that into every conversation?

i’ll take all the losses. but now it’s my turn.

you’re not the only one that feels fսckеd.

don’t be hostile with your big, weird eyes, and your bloody head.

i hate to disabuse you on your relative notion of good and evil, but this man knew and did evil on a scale almost absolute.

something tells me you traffic in the wrong, feisty side yourself there.

now we’ll find out why he came here every day.

follow my precise instructions, please.

if anything not from the natural world is found on the other side of this threshold, i have one piece of advice for you. do not make eye contact with it, do not speak with it.

it will be greedy for it, hungry. do you understand.

see, it took her face as a way in.

i am the steward of this garden of remembrance from which you’ve so brazenly thieved.

nothing to say for yourself?

are you aware that the very foundations of society are built on the respectful interment of the dead?

we stopped being apes when we dug our first graves.

as you can see, i’m at my wits’ end.

i told you never to come here.

i need to know if you’ve got anything promising.

you don’t understand, this is a matter of life or death.

how many times have i assisted you in the past?

i pray you don’t one day count yourself among them.

forgive me, but he seems almost alive.

long is the way and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.

he’ll only be in the ground for a few hours before I reach him.

such a touching epitaph will remain with him forever.

that’s how you’re gonna beat them.

i will commit my heart to you and only you!

THE AUTOPSY.

you’re gonna kill us! are you fսcking crazy?

why don’t you tell me what’s going on?

what am i gonna find?

i think i’m cursed.

the innocent get punished and everything is just dust.

from the bottom of my heart, you’re not that special.

who are you to claim special qualities of sin from the rest of us?

well, open it! what are you waiting for?

this wasn’t animal work. it was knife work.

you got me confused with some other body.

you either had too much or not enough, my friend.

i’ll take you if you want to go as soon as we get through with this mess.

you’ve made your peace with this thing, then?

we’re all on the same conveyor belt, [name]. some of us fall off a bit sooner than the rest, but…we’re all heading for the same destination.

i’m having crazy thoughts with this thing.

are you sure you’re up to this?

i apologize for the indignity, my friend. if it’s any comfort, i’m right behind you.

forgive me, friend. my curiosity necessitates opening you up.

death was your escape.

we must not be understood.

put down the knife.

oh, fret not. you will understand what devours you.

come, let me rid you of it. i will love you.

you’re going to use your puppet there to pluck you out.

i know what i can and cannot cut.

you are truly self-deluded.

you’re nothing but a thief and murderer. a parasite. you’re pathetic.

your arrogance makes you stupid.

[name] knew you’d be blind and deaf once you were out of him, you sadistic bastard.

you are in your new home, but you won’t be occupying it for long.

THE OUTSIDE.

did you see anyone?

what if someone’s in the house?

get some sleep, hon, okay?

she’s on xanax 24/7 now.

oh, hey. i didn’t know you were still here.

i thought you hated those women.

oh, what do you mean, “someone like you”?

i mean, we already know what everybody wants.

he’s not gonna hurt ya.

sorry i ruined everything.

well, you’re sensitive.

it’s just me. i have a bad face. a stupid, ugly, bad face.

you’re talking to me. i can give you the brand-new you, and that’s not all. i can give you peace of mind.

you have a lot of healing to do, [name].

there’s nothin’ wrong with you. nothin’ at all.

everybody likes you. everybody wants to talk to you.

come closer. closer. come, let me see your progress.

does it hurt when they exclude you? when they stare at you? when they point and laugh and whisper?

you want to know what it feels like to be pretty?

it’s already growing, right there, under your skin. 

i’ll come down, but please don’t say anything, because i already know what you’re gonna say.

why can’t you just be excited for me, huh?

you don’t need to be fixed.

you gotta put your worries down sometimes.

then why do i want to take off all of my skin and throw it in the garbage?
