CHAPTER TWO Skallagrim
Drag body through the darkness.
Darkness everywhere. Darkness hard wet cold hot, hot, crush kill claw ruin.
Bleed. Drag body again and again and again. Drag up. Up up up. Hand in hard sky. Crack.
Down. Down like falling. Headfirst sucked right down to ground, into ground. Hard hole deep deep deep.
Word. A word for that. Word for bone drag down to ground. Energy attraction mass. Brevity cavity calamity depravity.
Down. Hard on top below and all around. Drag body out.
Stand.
New world. Same hot cold foul and fighting darkness.
Same same same.
Except...
Not same. Not same.
Ahead. One single spot not-dark.
Darkness all around body. Inside body. Darkness as far as forever.
Until now. Until one little not-dark.
Another word for that. Shine sky eye blink bright night.
Not-dark not still. Wiggle worm crawl away.
Do not let it go.
Not-dark beneath body. Tendrils snap and lash.
Collides. Co
And I can see again.
