The Revenant

The Revenant

Sirens screamed like an old Drekavac now immortalized in cold steel, their cries accompanied by violent red lights of warning which shone upon blood that bathed dead corridors. Once soldiers of courage fled down winding halls in panic, more, in dread. Rightfully scared scientists, engineers, cooks, janitors, piolets, all that remained, that is, crammed themselves into every tight corner that provided a haven of safety. God-fearing roars of resident announcer Micheal Shirk bellowed out mechanically an omen that all could see. The Revenant had arrived once more.

As hell broke loose, and the stranger from across the stars massacred the occupants of Travelway Haden, Captain Philip prepared to take his own life.

Philip thought first of despair, of agony, of pain soon arriving and to be delivered by his own pistol. A vellian shot through the chest would be the force of a raging bull, the shock of the electric chair. Millions of volts were to course through his body instantaneously on impact. A violence beyond nature that would evaporate hair, burn skin, twist bone in sudden spasm, and partially cremate upon corpseification. Even all this would not act quick enough to prevent Philip from the second pain. From feeling the gaping hole in his chest, lungs popping and hearts punctured, muscle dropping to the floor, blood pouring.

As the Revenant drew near, and the last dying screams of attempted hiders vibrated upon metal, the choice became clear.

Philip's next thoughts were of regret, for Cassandra told clearly of the knife in her hand, and how she would come to exact payment in pain. It was clear from that start that whatever was trapped within the vessel, its construction of solid tungsten and alien alloy, was never meant to be. Yet Haden had welcomed the unknown stranger, nursed it, taught it. Taught it science, and religion, and history, and culture, and politics, and above all the purest way of man, the greatest pastime of humanity, how to kill. It so passively demonstrated its clear lacking need for instruction, standing idly and with disinterest at every world not involving food, until we had come to the topic of death. Foolish as children, we were but toys that interested it, animals barking such funny noises, but when a dog bites an owner, the dog must die.

Screams had all died down now, even the howls of Shirk. Not even the Drekavac and its fellow red dared announce the coming presence, for without warning Haden was silent and dark. Silent, that is, except for the soft foot prints of the Revenant outside the command rooms very door.

Steeled, prepared, Philip turned the gun rapidly not at the mortal monster beyond but towards his own life. Pulling hard the clicking trigger so that a finger paled from pressure. Dying. Alone. One billion miles from family. But safe from the Revenant. Safe.

The Revenant did later then open the heavy door to find a bloodbath. Mangled and burnt body that smolders atop fine carpet now dipped in red, half the chest thrown against the wall. It surely smiled at this site.

Deleted my previous post after getting reassured by my best friend

I know I'm not a bad person

And I'm so stupid for creating a Tumblr poll to see if having an opinion on something made me one

Sorry you always have to fix my confidence issues, Jo

Oh wow? An hour?

I can talk for an hour, I can talk for five, but usually the topic changes a little bit, things from other topics get pulled in and connected, we're reminded of stuff, ect

Plus usually only works with my dad

So I dunno about an hour, but with my dad I can(and have) talk for a long time about:

-Andor(or Star Wars in general)

-Tron

-Botw(we're not saying anything good)(or LoZ in general)

Shoot this is hard, we don't stick to individual subjects

-Movies in general I guess

-Science..?

I dunno if this one was really made for me

@manticoremoon @shepherd0821 @sillylittlegirlfrommars

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.

List 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.

Hey fellas, can we get an updated list of helpful links?

Cause a number of these don't work, have links that don't work, or lead to outdated sites

This is coming from a guy who really needs to grow up, but found several of the links I clicked on to be unhelpful

how to grow the fuck up

Y'all know it's based off a book right?

I've seen a lot of people talking about the dream works movie being made, The Wild Robot

What I haven't seen is anyone mentioning that it's an adaptation. And maybe you don't feel that's worth mentioning, but I say it is, cause it was a pretty good book

So if you didn't know this before, know you do

It's based off a book
