Edsel zoned in and out of consciousness sporadically, fighting to stay unconscious, never wanting to surface again, preferring not to know what desecration was being performed on his skin.

It was impossible to know just how long it took, but each time he awoke it was to find new horrors writhing across his skin — bright blue Ink meandering around his body, twirling and swirling in impossibly complex patterns that somehow seemed to mean something, yet at the same time meant nothing at all.

He was sure he was drugged while The Ink was administered. Each time he came to consciousness against his will, his mind trying its best to block out the horror, he saw Michael fiddle with his contraption then soon enough he would be back to blissful ignorance. Only the buzzing of the machine penetrating his dreamless sleep — a constant once more that was all there was, stronger than the drugs, overriding all else, even the numbness and the emptiness, filling the void of sanity with a constant background noise that would never leave him. His only companion now.

He awoke, he slept, on and on, The Ink spreading like a river branching off into countless tributaries, meandering this way and that, skirting the contours of his body, flowing under his skin, carrying insanity with it.

The day was bright then dark, then bright then dark again.

Sometimes when he awoke there was no Michael, no tanned face smiling down on him benevolently, waiting for him to say thank you for the gift bestowed on him. Yet still the tattoo machine buzzed in his head, like it would always be there; his forever.

Light and dark, Ink and insanity. Loss and grief, tears and screams.

That's all I have left now. There is nothing else.

Finally it was done.
