“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?” 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3FV4YIDlZ

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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64QyRn8VO1
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?
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8We96uJWg
“Number 889, is there a problem?”
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1YBUgUDxA
“N-No sir.”
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgoa5AuAFW
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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqha2qkmwLu
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. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FAF7b4Nk

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.
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGCiPRbklS
Who am I?
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGK1C2dTMk
What am I?
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJAY9UdGdX
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. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhq7vtcNQk

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.”
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtaN5KIVav
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. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNpzhvuLAB

“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.

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcS128JII3
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.
