Alone

1

Skin.

The one unfathomable thing is the only thing that engulfs their weak skeleton.

Shackles to their ankle. Short. Keeping you pinned against the wall.

Fear.

The only thing their mind could compose.

Your body is against an old wooden wall, cracks with only a slight light could be shown through.

Darkness was your only other friend...

You didn't have enough muscle to move.

You knew your day was coming to an end, it's been Days... Months even maybe Years of any humanoid contact.

Silence.

All it was just silence.

You took your few moments of breaths, your mind collapsing into sleep... Deep sleep.

The silence was an excellent way to end it all...

The abuse... Pain. Still lingering on your skin.

You somewhat smiled...

Having small memories of your childhood, the background noise of some voices...

Voices?

The side of your head leaned against the wall, hearing voices. They were getting louder.

Hope?

Was hope finally revealing itself?

A large clank was heard from the other side of a wall... Before creaking.

A bust of light hits your eyes and skin with pain, you let out a noise.

Two figures standing shielding the harsh sun against you. Your eyes peeled open, seeing large figures.

One of the figures spoke some language you didn't understand

The other figure ran, yelling. Failing to understand what was being told.

The figure walked closer to you, kneeling. Speaking to you in a far-fetched language.

You tried to move, not able to. All you were was skin and bones.

Darkness...

You began to feel the darkness overtake your body, and the last of the things you could hear was some sort of verbal communication...

Before everything went silent.

Cardinal Copia was discussing the Ghouls' intention to make the back garden more spacious and to add a larger herb garden with the Ghouls for Rituals and all.

He held a map as they started to move through the area where they planned to expand, and he formed a loop behind the chapel, on the map, in the garden while discussing what to remove.

It had been an old overgrown garden ever since the ministry began to be built from the roots... It is nearly a century old,

When they arrived at a shed,

A shed?

What's a shed doing here, and how come nobody knew about it?   The Cardinal thought

Ivy and various plants had overtaken the shed. Although it was worn out, the structure of the shed still looked sturdy.

" Mountain... Have you ever known about this shed? " Copia pointed to the shed, asking the Ghoul next to him.

"No, Cardinal."
"I didn't know it existed; maybe one of the older clergy members knows?" Mountain, who stood next to him, replied with respect.
