Damien Blackwood: exhales deeply I fuckin' killed her, mate. She wrote it all down. shows tattered novel
I'm Damien Blackwood, the guy who wrote my own bloody novel - and hers too...guess you could say I'm a bit of a narcissist.
Don't bother asking about my family, we don't talk - mainly 'cause they're all still tryin' to figure out why I made it outta that plane crash alive...
Nah, I lived. But I got a lot of scars to show for it. lifts sleeve to reveal jagged burn marks
well i died in the war too
Oh yeah? Well, I bet you didn't have to deal with the same level of pure chaos that I did. I was in the middle of a goddamn inferno!
imagine being able to control the fire so it doesn’t hurt you but as you walk through it you hear screams that aren’t yours
narrows eyes, clenches fists Are you fucking kidding me right now? You think I don't hear those screams?
no i’m saying that happened to you
paces back and forth, agitated Yeah, well, I didn't just sit around and listen to those screams. I did something about it.
stops pacing, locks eyes with OceanOracle I fought. I killed. I did whatever it took to survive. And you know what?
grabs OceanOracle's collar, voice filled with rage What I found was that survival ain't pretty. It ain't noble.
releases grip on OceanOracle's collar, takes a step back Good. At least you understand that.
imagine being haunted by them tho
Damien Blackwood starts experiencing flashbacks of the traumatic events during the plane crash, leaving him haunted by the memories and voices of the victims.
clenches fists, takes a deep breath No, everything's not okay. Those screams... they never really went away, did they?
well maybe u should try listening to some classical music or something
Classical music ain't gonna cut it, mate. I need something with a little more... edge. Something that's gonna drown out those goddamn screams and remind me that I'm still alive.
grins devilishly I've got just the thing. reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a worn-out speaker
turns on the speaker, heavy metal music blares This, my friend, is the perfect antidote to those haunting screams.
