Intermission – The Turning

Jimmy woke up with a killer headache, bound and gagged in a burning field. He probably would have been out cold still if it wasn’t for the choking smoke coming from the fire all around him. He wriggled around to try to free himself from his bindings to no avail, and he couldn’t yell as his mouth was bound in a gag around his head.

For some reason his left arm was aching near his tricep, which was exposed as his jersey was torn away and his arms were still tied behind his back. His legs were free now and he strained as he turned his head to see what was causing the pain. It was somewhat of a burning sensation, making him assume that maybe some wayward spark from the fire had landed there and melted through his skin. His vision was still blurred from the blow he had taken to the back of the head, and he thought he saw the yellow glow of embers covering him.

It was then that he discovered the horrifying truth. The yellow glow wasn’t from burning embers. It was from the undead fire emanating from eyes of rats swarming over him. His left arm used to showcase his gang tattoo in old English letters marking his street name of “LOCO”. He could only make out a partial “C” and the last “O”, as the rats had chewed off and devoured the rest of the lettering and the flesh canvas that they were displayed on.

Jimmy thrashed about as he realized that he had been hogtied, his legs now freed by the swarm of rats who had been chewing away at both flesh and fabric in a feeding frenzy. He slipped and slid in a pool of his own blood as he struggled to get up, realizing that his dazed fog was as much from blood loss as the hit he had taken. His vision continued to darken, as the outline of small furry zombified rats was backlit by the growing fire consuming the field around him.

His body ached with intense pain as he began to gag and heave. He choked on his own vomit as the binding across his mouth kept him from expelling the contents of his stomach, filling his nostrils and blocking his airwaves. The pain was excruciating, but short lived as he succumbed to the peacefulness of the dark that fell over him.

It was some time before he heard them shaking him into consciousness. He heard their cries as they brought him to his feet.

“Loco! Loco!”

Their voices sounded amplified as he gazed upon two glowing angels. He heard their voices, but no longer understood the meaning of their language. He didn’t remember his friends who were trying to revive him, as he only recognized them as two figures shrouded in a yellow haze.

He was ravenously hungry. He knew that only they were the things that would give him sustenance. He could feel their warmth and knew that they were full of the life-force he was now driven to consume.
