A snippet from Scrapyard Boys, that I am quite proud of (:

"Y'know, this is almost like a hobby to me. Hunting mutants." The masked man laughed, crowbar in one hand, gun in the other, "Yeah, it's kinda wild."

On the ground, nonchalantly, Josh rolled around to lie on his back, looking up at the man, "No, it's just sick."

The strange man paused, tilting his obscured face to the side, voice muffled by the thick mask, "You know why I'm gonna disagree with you-?"

Josh rolled his eyes, seemingly busy with something else, "I don't, but I'm pretty sure you're about to tell me."

The man didn't answer, simply kicking him over with enough force to send him careening to the side. Instead of crying out, Josh laughed - an out-of-breath sound that sounded more like crying.

A few feet away, bound up on her knees, Erin chided in, a frantic mix of panic and annoyance in her voice "...Josh, shut up. Are you out of your mind?!"

Josh stopped laughing for a moment, pulling himself up in a disjointed motion, like a possessed ragdoll learning to move - quite a disturbing sight that halted even the masked man in his tracks. His eyes crackled and swirled with pitch-black energy, and his voice was warbled when he spoke again, "No, I'm not," He giggled, the sound alternating between deep and bellowing and shrill like a broken computer.

Erin noticed that his hands were now unbound - broken, but unbound - and saw the familiar shape of his summoned nightmares beginning to loom over him like a shadow. She said nothing. He tilted his head to the side, neck cracking unnaturally, and then finished his sentence, eyes zeroed in on their attacker, multiple voices overlapping, "But he will be, soon."

The masked mobster growled, leveling his gun at the young man and firing. As the glowing bullet whizzed through the air, Josh and his shadows were faster, swatting it aside with a laugh, before - with a shrill, blood-curdling shriek, the shadows advanced on the masked one, digging into the man's mind like inky tendrils.
