Chapter 1 - Help Him

HELP HIM




 

 

 

 

 

You sit amongst the dark

 

Alone, in the dank shadows

 

Cry yourself to sleep each night

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You argue with your own self

 

Fighting for sanity

 

Even your own thoughts

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You may have thought you lost it all

 

Searching for it, but maybe not just it alone

 

Something you need and crave

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You are taken by those of darkness

 

Tortured, you reveal

 

Maimed, you scream

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You are let go

 

By yourself, but not alone

 

To find the one that took it

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You find them sleeping

 

Creep in, attack

 

But you have always been the victim,
it’s no different that night

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?

 

You see in his eyes, that they are much like your own

 

He takes off the rope, he mentions your name

 

Master is your friend, you tell the other in your mind to
leave

 

Somebody has helped
him!

 

You bring back a gift

 

Eager to please, to help

 

But disaster looms

 

What has happened?

 

You feel crushed; mind warped ‘He has betrayed us’, you
think, you say

 

The other comes back

 

A decision is made

 

…Why?

 

You find them sitting

 

Peaceful

 

Touching his knee, remembering, you are yelled at, hurt

 

Why did you do that…?

 

You lead them astray

 

Into the deep darkness of her lair

 

What have you done?

 

Why won’t somebody
please help him?!

 

You creep along, by yourself once more, for the last time

 

Crying here and there

 

All hopes dashed

 

Why, oh why, won’t
somebody please help him?!

 

You find your Master again

 

Attack, get it back

 

Falling

 

Catch him! Catch him!

 

You look back into his eyes as you fall, you see yourself

 

Last word is ‘precious’ but you mean ‘Master!’

 

‘Why didn’t you save me?’



Why, why, why!? Why, won’t
somebody, please…?

 

Help him…?

 

 

 

 

THE END
