pulchre; their lives willingly given up to be with you always。 But my servants were not so willing。 No; they gave themselves up grudgingly。 Still; their reluctant spirits are with me now。 Listen how they whine。
Will I have to wait as long as you; Dark Lord; before my body is discovered? This; my own sepulchre; is well hidden; as was yours; and I don't have the strength to call others to it。 In fact; I have no strength; no power; at all。 I'm sure Halloran sealed the entrance well; and no one would hear me even if I could scream。
Aaaah! Hurting!
And it's darker now。 Are the candles burning low? Will I be left on this altar in total darkness; unable to see; unable to move 。 。 。
Spare me this pain; please Lord。 Take me before the opiums weaken。 Forgive me for failing you。
If I turn my head I can see the knife he used on me。 Its blade is rich with my own blood。 Isn't it funny; Lord? If I could reach it; I could use it against myself; I could hurry along my death。 But see there; one of my severed arms lying in a puddle next to it? The other is probably close by。 And my legs。 Where are they; I wonder? It's not important。
Can there be another time for me; O Lord?
No。 Of course not。
What good is my limbless form to you; with my spirit forever entombed inside; my body now my soul's own sepulchre。 Say you'll forgive me!
Darker now。 Being very dim。 I can still see the eyes though; those huge unblinking eyes watching from the shadows。 They'll watch over me forever; won't they?
Even when the darkness is plete; they'll still be there。
Watching 。 。 。
