Where did the fucking road go?
43Please respect copyright.PENANATvVbfWLsrP
Where did the 9th ward go…”Sam” I felt my voice finally croak away from the fumigation gas catastrophe….
43Please respect copyright.PENANACFUHTUtE4c
I felt like I was back in California… in…
43Please respect copyright.PENANAGRUHGlBrM5
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAJNH5qSUGRm
I was back at our old shitty feces-colored house in Rosamond, California, 2005.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAPlqmsp08NG
I instantly looked down at my hands, my dark brown fingers small and chubby as they were when I was a kid…
43Please respect copyright.PENANAIEjBVgpOcM
…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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAop7voEFvHR
The familiar white-hot terror washed over me as I realized I was shifting into another “episode” as Sam likes to call it.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA9LVUiqP8g6
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANACfft2hP75A
This was NOT how I remembered it…. Everything was twisted and sinister, it felt like the house itself was digesting my entire soul.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAECWffOiDAT
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhnd4reDqvB
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAk6tfb3uPwg
His eyes were vacant and possessed sickly vibrant purple swirls that replaced what little light my father even had.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhIroMipVnb
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAPUyBMxldot
Eyes gushing rank brown blood and brain matter as their rotted flesh seemed to meld together in this hellscape.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA2HE8NGetQi
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA18EUlSwvGM
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAEP7GXiLp1u
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAyqXyzW28xe
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAiIpxROodGV
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAA4wUzNRP8g
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAS4e2RVORI8
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvwxdRBy6tS
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANATulnVaXuPH
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAxnHPrEnweR
“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…”
43Please respect copyright.PENANABkMOXK4Xqf
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAjTdHfPEDnP
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…
43Please respect copyright.PENANAOat75Xxvhc
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAhIJzk6LZPa
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAbPMRCaKsCS
“oliM this nice lady works for Mr. Richards” My brother seemed abnormally formal, which means he was tense.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA9uDqQwAfak
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAWXCB9SnmHi
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
43Please respect copyright.PENANAzsBiYTCG0d
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcsv9FjGEvD

“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…
43Please respect copyright.PENANARaYNX8kNFo
“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”.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAbnAqZ4AjVN
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAd6KgitmMJ6
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANATUe6CUnk1d
“You have said nothing about payment, whats-” she cut me off sharply. “Your medical bills are the payment for section A”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAYCRwIaT06k
DAMNIT! I felt myself wince for my still aching wallet.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAw3eRBeEbxF
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAtgcfJd1u0b
This crazy ass lady just handed me a fucking business contract!
43Please respect copyright.PENANADx1nV1yUCn
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA3sPgNDiHUv
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA4O9eTuyFQ5
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAicKxISMhGu
“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!”
43Please respect copyright.PENANALFWqwNxZCn
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6up17tWwRB
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”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwPNgnCSPj1
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
43Please respect copyright.PENANAHLzsRnTsKK
…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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANARse2HfBcYU
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcpINRdNRGT
“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
43Please respect copyright.PENANA8qGhFsoxdc
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”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAzK1BghsqrJ
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAH9qfcS2M09
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5OssQH5Gjl
“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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAKZciPvNui2
“Yes …even lowly pustules like us..” We stepped onto the bus that we always scam the fee, apprehensive and quiet
