GRAVEYARD

Graveyard


Reflexively, you curl tighter. Just another minute. Just another minute of sleep is all you need, but the sun waits for no one. Wait. The sun? After many days and nights with only moonlight to guide you, your eyes snap open and your pupils contract at the light.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bask in this euphoria for however long it lasts, until your memory snaps back against your mind like a rubber band. Weren't you dead? No matter how you met your end, you certainly remember dying in vivid detail. The pain that corresponds to the last moment's of your life chooses then to make itself known, trying to wriggle free from your skin almost literally. That mark on your skin wasn't there before either.

Take a moment to breathe and get your bearings, and really take everything into focus. The warm rays of sun that dance upon your skin are colorful and fragmented like a kaleidoscope, the effect of being filtered through stained glass. Of all the places to wake up, it seems you're inside a church that's no stranger to you, St. Mary's Basilica. While the odds are good you've woken up with company somewhere near by, the glint of gold from the altar will likely catch your attention regardless—embedded deep in the altar stands a golden staff, two sculpted wings draped down its sides.

While some things are the same, and some things are different, there are still more questions than answers. But the inscription engraved into the roof of the ceiling of the Church, now visible in proper lighting seems rather apt: Welcome to Krakow (again).

I assure you if I were a girl, I'd probably be the same or worse, so it's really not about gender. This is just me.

Well, I think it's unhealthy for people to be surrounded by more than one of me anyway.

[ one dose of elliot is already too close to overdosing. ]

Oh, god forbid someone else is cursed with this hair.

Fool, that'll solve nothing.

[ this hair can't be tamed. ]

I also might be wrong about cameras. Could you bring that also?

In many ways. So many ways that it would be incredibly embarrassing to list them all. No one wants to see me blushing that much. A tomato wouldn't be as bright.

[ giving him what he wants shuts him up for a little while, which many people consider a big plus. ]
