[Milo]
Where did the fucking road go?
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UoRwnlDhP
Where did the 9th ward go…”Sam” I felt my voice finally croak away from the fumigation gas catastrophe….
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG5Rpr7pOw
I felt like I was back in California… in…
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yaGOMeEqB
As I slipped in and out of consciousness, I found myself being pulled back into the past. The black void that took over my sight morphed, the walls stretching and contorting, the black abyss twisted and turned into faded wallpaper and the scent of crack-head piss replaced by the pungent smell of stale blood and decay.

I was back at our old shitty feces-colored house in Rosamond, California, 2005.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7YFFaZ92
I instantly looked down at my hands, my dark brown fingers small and chubby as they were when I was a kid…
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuR6hRmV0K
…shit why do I keep coming back to this moment… isn't there anything else worth replaying in my head? The howling and sweeping winds screamed against the old house's glass window panes sending shockwaves of dread up my small spine.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsZTvvovas
The familiar white-hot terror washed over me as I realized I was shifting into another “episode” as Sam likes to call it.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmJu2iNUX
In the corner of the dark desert sunroom, my father was hunched over. His skin, usually a dull brown, seemed to shimmer in the dim light, a sickly green.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmc7UwUHz0
This was NOT how I remembered it…. Everything was twisted and sinister, it felt like the house itself was digesting my entire soul.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoenDugufFC
A fucking 7-foot tall, mafia-suited freak with a shitty paper grocery store bag stood beside him, his spectral form flickering and his whispery voice echoing throughout the room, commanding my stupid sick fuck of a father to build some kinda…Effigy.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UI7eI4fbx
Nails screeched against wood and glass seeming to come from every angle. My father obediently dragged a piece of splintered and jagged bone from a victim of his latest slaughter. He seems to lurch like a saggy bayou log over to the center of the room.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1rcNasLiQ
His eyes were vacant and possessed sickly vibrant purple swirls that replaced what little light my father even had.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfAFHznarA
One by one, he started dragging their desecrated corpses. arranging the bodies and viscera of his victims, their lifeless black doll-like eyes staring into nothingness as he arranged the heads at the bottom; they crushing under the weight of their dismembered body parts.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ueUtcklp
Eyes gushing rank brown blood and brain matter as their rotted flesh seemed to meld together in this hellscape.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYMXKUAViP
My father's long dreads covered his tattooed face as he pulled out a butcher knife and viciously hacked a pale shin and foot combo up onto the nasty ass sacrificial alter
The grisly sight was sickening, the sickly sweet rotten metallic odor of death overpowering my senses, an arcid and goey taste on the back of my tongue.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFPCTLDhm2
I was paralyzed, unable to move or look away. The sick, bag-headed NBA reject's maniacal laughter filled the space, a chilling, guttural sound that pierced my muscles and sinews like wasps violently embedding themselves into my flesh.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Y4QxBcvr
Suddenly, the room darkened as shadows slithered in through the gaps in the filthy blood-soaked floorboards, the space under the doors, and the cracks in the shit-stained windows.
They manifested and twisted, taking the forms of demonic half-animal figures. I could feel their malevolent gazes on me, their monstrous forms towering over my small pitiful child body. Their gnashing teeth and abnormally grotesque muscles pulsed with dark spiritual energy.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAfoffmvDH
The giant suited man turned to face me, even more terrifying in the presence of the otherworldly creatures slithering about. Every second I spent there stretched into god-forsaken epochs of misery and trauma.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8hGCn2AO
His greasy blood-spotted bagged head wrinkled as his face met mine, and for the first time, I could see him clearly. His features squeezing with squelching vanta black tendrils seeping into what I now realize was not a suit…but his actual body.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCuoDM0hPa
I was trapped in my past, forced to relive my own bleak and scarring childhood nightmare, and there was no escape as my body was unable to move I felt everything fade to black around me once again in the void.
I wasn't even going to pretend like I remembered what happened after Sam and that shit-fuck “detective” stopped talking….I DO remember the feeling of sweet….sweet FRESH fucking oxygen and the smell of plastic.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHMGwbRtju
“Oh good he's back with us” I heard the gorgeous voice of some sort of angel bringing me from the precipice of death by bug bomb.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYrC3JJSqR
My eyes shot open, and I flinched as I reeled from how bright the lights were in this, GODAMNIT! Sam’s tiny sadistic jello shot-infused brain of course decided to bring me to the hospital.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAYRIP2fSW
My eyes fell on the most god awfully ugly ass…oh wait “fuck you SAM” The second my eyes met his stupid face; he smiled like it wasn't his fault.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHQ3o89Ru
“Oh my” the same angelic voice soothed my anger again. I turned to see a beautiful nurse, kinda older but hey….if this lady saved my life she’s 'aight. “You shouldn't be so mean to your Big Brother like that, he carried you in here…”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmnBiiKBrf
“BULLL SHIT the only thing Sam carried in here is an incurable…” I paused as my ripped-up, poisoned lungs woke up from the same state of near-death my mind was teetering.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgygyW8r4O
I nearly coughed out every last cell in my lungs for a solid minute as she began ignoring me with a glare placed right on my now un-covered infected tattoo, which ironically I got the words “HATE ME” I am now slightly regretting my own satire…
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OjaQfwlj1
“Your “lovely brother” will be fine once he keeps this oxygen tank on and stops….screeching so much.” She broke eye contact for a moment as she flipped the chart she had one page over.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZaT6ErjpT
“I am lovely…thank you gorgeous” I awkwardly tried to wink but all I managed to do was creepily crease my face blocked by the luxurious oxygen mask. I felt my sanity coming back a little as I noticed Sam shift uncomfortably.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNSASSOvsP
“oliM this nice lady works for Mr. Richards” My brother seemed abnormally formal, which means he was tense.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJiuogTCg
“Oh yeah…and who is-” I just let my sentence hang as I raspily breathed in more pure O2 into my lungs. I gestured with my hand for the sentence to continue…I'm very conscious now that I have no more Xanax, we have a problem.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJifXQXei
The foxy nurse shook her head annoyedly “Mr. Richards is the reason you aren't dead… You trying my patience” She tapped her foot on the…wait wood floors
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Y9foRO8a
For the first time, I was observant with non-fumi-fused cells in my brain; I was in a windowless mock hospital room with grey-toned wood floors. The window was just a weird satanic painting full of writhing black bodies in a bog.

“I know you have questions but to be honest with you” Her eyes flashed black like a shark for a second, I feel like since we’ve been in Louisiana I've seen stranger and stranger shit. It's not just now anytime im not popping pills like a reverse Pez dispenser….im not sure it's like I can see…
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQVFGuq0K7
“I can tell from the vacant look in your eyes you are not as good of a listener as Samael, so here's the short version: you and your brother are gonna investigate my boss's political rival with your little “business”.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69SePm1SUe
She smiled without moving her eyes from Sam, it felt like she was fucking roasting us over a spit and she was doing nothing….very attractive. Sam must have seen me daydreaming because he kept shooting me blank stares every few seconds.

“All you do is get dirt on this guy: Marvin Yater. If you can get the medallion around his neck it's an extra bonus….” She shot me a glance like I wasn't allowed to be in the room anymore. The walls felt tight as the air seemed to be running out in the small Fuex hospital room.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvFY3aBqAS
“You have said nothing about payment, whats-” she cut me off sharply. “Your medical bills are the payment for section A”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdsnQXdAq6
DAMNIT! I felt myself wince for my still aching wallet.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOg43drh9f
“While if you're able to get the medallion no questions asked….Mr. Richards will have you guys on retainer while you gallivant all over town” She turned what I thought were my medical charts.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzRPZMza2C
This crazy ass lady just handed me a fucking business contract!
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjVwpa7VaK
“You bet your sweet ass im getting that BONUS” I signed my name for the first time in my adult life….that wasn't a forgery.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEWGprh57V
Jesus, I need to get my life together after this…

[Samael]
We stood in a beautifully designed black chrome elevator not even 30 seconds after my brother's release from this dingy 4-story office building.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQfj3ZGMg
“Milo?” I turned to my twin trying to gauge his thoughts…I wondered why he wasn't sullen or throwing a petulant moronic tantrum when that dubious secretary handed him that contract.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF8oru04aB
“SH…SHSHSH….Sam” He had the strangest smile as he breathed in another raspy gasp of air. The miniature baby blue oxygen tank splits us in the elevator space. “Thanks, dawg! You really fuckin did it bro!”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjF1ZYZRbR
I felt my face scrunch into a defensive smile much like an animal bearing its fangs. “No….problem? You aren't slighted by me?” I made sure to let him know I was looking him in the eyes as the elevator door opened.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrBzJGeKpM
The lobby was a sleazy claustrophobically cramped pawnshop full of broken dreams, lost lives, and the unwanted filth of the city. “Nah Sam ironically if you weren't such an asshole we wouldn't almost have a job.”
He briskly walked pushing the doors open to the pawnshop like he was in some weird po’boy version of “the great gatsby”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPIqCtVl56
I tried to walk calmly out onto the ninth wards cracked streets but I had a rising suspicion that this was not a good idea
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRmEkpg4qm
…we seemed to be playing into a grander scheme, this whole mysterious benefactor making strange deals….The Bagman’s silence seconds before that woman approached me with her boss’s “help”....I have never been a fanatic for patterns and coincidence when it came to my fickle and meager existence.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Wn5PJxMS
“So….where do we start, that “nurse” give you any details on this Scum-Bag Yater?” My brother with his air of unusual manic happiness was beginning to unnerve me.
I looked down at the slightly creased yellow business card with a very sharply dressed pale yellow tone southern black man. “It says he is some sort of….what the fuck.”
I really should have trusted my instincts when I thought this was a bad idea.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorB5qfpkl5
“It says he's the first Anti-God megachurch pastor-” I tried not to let Milo see any hesitation in me, I felt he was already having a bad day. In his manic states, he tends to enact his delusions of grandeur on unsuspecting participants in our schemes
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmRUVICWCg
He let out a loud laugh that was muffled by the oxygen mask he seemed to be drinking the contents of. “Well this should be easy… a couple of knuckleheads doing a chain snatch with a hint of extortion”
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWzCDqqUsr
My brother's dark brown eyes seemed to have restored color now “All we gotta do is attend some stupid church sermon….” He turned back to look at me for the first time since he exploded out of the doors like a Broadway play.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR30tHhI7Hi
“It's not tonight, but we can go to his residence and steal the medallion. Guys like this always have their information readily available to anyone.” I chuckled before I could say something witty Milo cut me off.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudZ7KQimWN
“Even piece of shit puss-bags like us” he put his arm around my shoulder as he was nearly clicking his heels….I am wildly uncomfortable with any nonviolent skin contact, but I will allow it for now.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyi38d0D76
“Yes …even lowly pustules like us..” We stepped onto the bus that we always scam the fee, apprehensive and quiet
