“Listen up, you meat suits will be dropped in to eliminate the enemy’s weapons manufacturer and destroy the compound. Should be easy with what we’re giving you. Any questions?” 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUd16qrcl

No one said a word. They didn’t want to. This wasn’t our war anymore so why bother?

A beautiful lady with long blond hair and a smoking hot body steps forward toward us. But what really got us to stand at attention was what she was wearing. At least we got to see something good before we go under. A small mercy.

Satisfied with the excited blood pumping through us, she hands the 13 of us a syringe with a strange red substance. Assassin type as expected.
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehqUtuGBEh
I take the cold syringe and stare at it while everyone else shoots the liquid up their veins. Is this really what I want to do with my life?

“Number 889, is there a problem?”
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2h0NRSpx6
“N-No sir.”

I look around at my fellow victims. Their eyes have already glazed over, the liquid quickly flowing to the brain and doing its work. Soon, I will be in their position.
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJr9QA222k
I take the syringe and carefully insert in into my arm. I push the liquid inside me and instantly I feel the familiar sensation. The frigid fire courses through my veins, freezing then burning my blood. As if alive, it spreads throughout my body, getting familiar with the host. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevnWJRUJ2R

My body begins to convulse uncontrollably as the substance slithers through my soul. Every bloody inch it scraps away, another part of me is submerged and overtaken. Memories blend and emotions fall to bedlam.
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroTdqGUemC
Who am I?

What am I?
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqlq5V3UtI
I feel this body’s eyes roll back into the skull. There, in that twisting darkness of the minding, I can see it. Something…foreign to us. Us? Who are we? How many are in here? I’m so tired. I…we…they…someone wants freedom.

But the chains of the mission don’t go away. The noose only tightens, blistering the writhing souls raw. Blades tears away at the skin but we’re unable to scream. Hammers crush the bones but we're unable to beg for mercy. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGIcKRnWY

The body goes through unfamiliar but familiar motions. Howls of the dying and the smell of the decaying fill the atmosphere. So close to our memories yet so far from what we think is right.

Suddenly, I am me again. I’m pulled from the depths of insanity and back into the waking world. But something is missing again. Pieces…lost in the torrent. Memories and thoughts are absorbed by the all-consuming black.

“W-Who are you?”

“You commanding officer, now clean yourself up.”
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mlBi7lJa
I hesitate to look down or around me, the smell tells me enough. The burning bodies behind me and the wetness on my hands. But…I had to keep going. No one will lead me out of this darkness.

I opened my eyes to see the carnage we committed. We completed our given mission, paid by the blood of hundreds.

We all look toward the new recruit. A child no more than 14 years of age, forced to play host to some past killer. He couldn’t but empty his bowls after such an event. 377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JOHLd9foV

“For fuck sake, someone clean after 900. Fucking meat suits…”

The rest of us closed our hearts to it and went back into the ship. Time blurred after that and now we come to the present.

Voices in my head rattle and fight over my decision. I scrap them out until blood fills my vision. I have to end it quickly before more memories are ripped from me.

I look back down and see only peace awaiting me. The screams of voices long dead ring further in my head. No matter how much I scratch, they won’t get out! I have no choice.
