He…hehe…hehehe…HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The laughter sounds from the walls
All around the blood falls
I see my brother Jim
Constantly dying…
Over and over again
Suicidal suffering
Tormenting me with his emotional abuse
If what he speaks is truth
He is the one in the wrong
I the victim!
Yet here he appears on blood splattered walls
Stalking me up and down these halls
Showing me his death again and again
Cackling madly
No promise of tomorrow for him
Is there one for me?
What kind of hellish insanity
Have I found?
I’ve awoken to madness all around
He continues to stalk me
I continue to run
I feel my mind going insane
Slowly this place tears away at me
I can feel the breath of a living thing
Echoing within the these halls
Studying me
Picking me apart
Slowly, smiling, this place lives
I swear it!
Just as I feel the madness overtake
Jim vanishes
The ship falls silent
The silence becomes worse than anything from before
It is so quiet as I wander the halls
Has it been days, months even?
I’m no longer sure
Everything is blurring
It is all the same
The silence has lasted for an eternity!
Now I begin to question all
As I step through a door and all at once
I’m back within the same halls
Jim stalking me
Laughing
Committing suicide again
Still he haunts me
Unrelenting
Then I see her as well
My Isabella…
My baby girl
She bleeds from her head
I…I’m not sure if anything is real
For soon I sense her…
The woman who fills me with dread
The one I met at the beginning of all of this
She holds in her hands a fair sized knife
Licking it slowly
Her tongue splitting in two
Before she vanishes
Reappearing ahead…
SMILING!
That smile is the worst thing of all I think
The sinister thoughts no doubt
Housed within it
Red like the blood on my daughters head
An omen of death
For what lies ahead
The halls grow dark
The world black
I see nothing…but…
I hear her breathing…
The sound of the knife grating on the metal walls
It grinds and vanishes
Appearing ever closer than before
I run in the opposite direction
Though it is back the way I came
I find not surprisingly
I’m somewhere else…
ENTIRELY!
She’s here in the darkness
I hear her all around
The grinding of the knife
Echoing from the walls
Her smile is something I can sense
Much like her dark intent
I run and run some more
The place shifts and alters once again
Leading me deeper into the maze within
I’m terrified by all I see
For the lights come on suddenly
The woman no longer there
Instead
The walls fill with eyes
Staring at my soul
I see their pained expressions
Hear the screams
Then there is her laughter again
I can hear them slowly die
One by one she slaughters them
As they die the eyes that match the victims of each
Turn a horrific crimson
A shock on them
Just before they roll into the walls
Fading…
I press forwards
RUNNING FOR MY LIFE!
She slowly follows
Smiling…
I feel the stalking inside the walls
I feel her smile all around the halls
I know not how this will end
I suspect…
…In Death…
-Echo: They Slowly Stalk Me-
