We moved as fast as we could, as our lungs strained
to siphon oxygen from the damp air that swamped us.
Forcing our way through the undergrowth, we came to a
small clearing. Although visibility was limited, we could
not have missed the horrific spectacle twenty meters in
front of us…
Strung up in a twisted knot of a tree, no more than a
few meters ahead of us, was Doc. He was spread-eagled
in some a gruesome parody of his Jesus on the crucifix.
Our comrade swung there, still very much alive and
whimpering in agony, with blood gurgling from hismouth in hot pink bubbles. His chest had been sliced
open, and his ribs cracked wide apart to display the
bloody, raw mess inside.
Stunned with disbelief, Macka stepped forward as he
attempted to make sense of the horrific scene in front of
us.
Then came the audible click of a tripwire and Doc
exploded.
Blood, flesh, and gore rained down on us, and
splintered shards of bone sliced through our clothes and
skin miniscule razors.
It was at that point that I simply quit functioning.
Everything I could see, smell, and hear was entirely
incoherent; my brain slid into slow motion, my body
numbed, and I slumped to the ground. I stared down at
my hands which were thick with grime and peppered
with bone fragments—Doc’s bone fragments.”
