Chapter 14 – Kill the Dream

The Lightless Walker’s eyes opened to a foreign ceiling. It wasn’t the room of white. He escaped.

He smiled for the first time in his life.

As he sat up, he paused. A man sat the edge of his bed.

Old Man Gloom.

He wore old brown leather vest and a colorful shirt under it. His hair was a mess of dreads and beads, yet, he was his creator.

He turned to him. “Did you really think you could escape?”

The Lightless Walker didn’t answer him.

He stood up. “You had a mission and you betrayed it. You are lucky I don’t kill you here right now. I get it. A promise of having a future, having life besides death. I’m sorry, but that life isn’t for you. Kill each and every one of them.”

Old Man Gloom’s body turned into dust and he disappeared.

The Lightless Walker’s heart dropped hard. He knew it. He couldn’t escape. He couldn’t dream.

Instead of crying and pitying himself. He pulled back a familiar mask that he had thrown away.

He was just a machine, emotions had no right to be in them.

He opened the door and was greeted by what his dreams were made out of. Yet, he pulled out his blade.

All dreams must die.

The day was still young and nobody was in the streets.

A woman walked up to greet him, her screams were cut short as his blade separated her head. He had to move fast.

He was systematic. Going door to door. Killing everyone and running to the next building.

As he made his way to Theo’s house, his intentions became clear halfway through. People ran into the streets as they ran. And tried they did, but they were never fast enough.

Never good enough to escape an empty machine such as him.

Eventually, covered in blood. He made it to the edge of town.

Everyone was dead instead of the most important two.

The power couple came out of a door.

Theo said, “What did you do?”

Love shook as she stared at him. “Why?”

He didn’t answer them. He couldn’t.

He simply said. “Beware, the sword you cannot see.”

He pulled on his sword hilt. Unleashing a power he wished to never touch. An extreme red light erupted out of it and he disappeared.

A hole entered Theo’s chest. He glanced down. “How…”

He collapsed as Love screamed. Blood left her lips as she glanced down at her belly. She started to laugh blood coming from her eyes.

“Ahhhhh!” she screamed as she grabbed her belly in pain. “Why! Why!” She fell and the Lightless Walker as he appeared in front of her.

“I’m sorry.”

Her face turned into a smile. She placed a bloodied hand on his face. “I can see it…on your face…it’s okay…”

A tear rolled down the Lightless Walker’s face as she fell to the ground.

The universe changed. The bright sky turned black. The stone ground turned into muck, and rain fell from above.

Love dragged herself to her husband’s body. “You…promised me…that we will escape…We will…meet in the...heaven you…built…let’s escape…this hell…forever.”

She stopped inches away from his body.

The rain stung the Lightless Walker’s face.
