Chapter Text
I heard my mother's shrieks of agony, and saw my father's lifeless corpse,
and my hand grazed my midsection, coming away bloody,
and the screams of my dying neighbors and friends seemed to echo through my ears, the sounds stopping abruptly as their heads were separated from their bodies,
as the smell of blood and earth overwhelmed me,
and the Aragami creeped closer with each second,
I brought myself to look up
as the moon, a tiny sliver of light in the sky,
disappeared
behind the clouds.
