Mean Girls (2004) House MD (2009)
He left his village a long time ago.
He did it for simple reasons. He wished to serve his Lords. He wished to keep his village safe from all manner of threats that lurk in this world. He wished for a full stomach and a fuller purse.
They accepted him into their service, and decided to have him as a Man-At-Arms.
He thanked them for their understanding and care, when they have no such things.
They took his legs, and replaced them with segmented metal things, which would allow him to run and jump further and faster. They took his eyes, which insisted on blinking and flinching, and made it so that he would miss no shots through fault of his own. They took his arms, and gave him new ones, covered in blades and places to mount weapons and ammunition.
They sent him out among countless others.
…
It is much, much later.
He marches alongside his comrades. He marches alongside towering Implements, which fill him with a sense of dread and unease, despite the fact that they are on the same side. He marches towards his enemy.
Corrosion awaits.
The ground is stained a dirty orange. Leaves drop from the trees and hit the ground in a cacophony of falling rust. He sees things that were once people, now twisted into metal shapes. It smells of rot.
Alongside his comrades, he readies his weapons.
They burn it all down.
…
It is a bit later.
The area has been cleaned and secured. They continue marching.
The place into which they march is Corrosion no longer. This is the domain of Decay.
Half-dead and never-living things surround them and charge forwards.
Gunfire rakes through the air. Gouts of flame burst forth from some of the Implements. Others open fire with immense cannon. Some sweep through the enemy with oversized blades and crushing instruments. He joins his comrades. He fires upon the enemy.
The march continues.
Comrade and foe alike fall.
Implements stagger and are dragged down by the sheer weight of the enemy.
His ammunition runs dry. His comrades suffer the same fate.
The march continues.
Now they fight with blades alone. The march has slowed. Death is omnipresent, watching over both sides and exacting a heavy toll.
His comrades drop, one by one.
The march continues.
He marches alone.
The march continues.
He marches right out of the other end of the Decay.
…
‘... and for your services to The Court, you are to be rewarded with a place among our number, safe from the Corrosion and Decay that spoiled so many of your fine compatriots.’
He is knighted.
They take his lungs. They take his spine. They take his brain. They take his mind.
He thinks of his village, and how long it has been.
He does not understand.
But, he supposes, he does not have to. He is one of The Court now, and the actions of mere humans are far below him. He does not care any more.
His new brain and heart tick away steadily, and he rises.
She was a god once.
People obeyed the god she was. People listened to the god she was. People respected the god she was.
She was loved, and because the god was gentle, because it gave away comforting dreams with fairytale endings and divine messages and told its followers to make their dreams reality, she is here now.
The thing that stands before her has no respect for the god she was.
It approaches her.
Leans close to her.
Puts its mouth to her ear, lips nearly touching her.
Whispers meaningless words to her.
It fills her with fears, not her own. It tells her to reject the authority of the world. It tells her that she must never explain her actions. It tells her the secrets and agonising truths she once denied.
It pulls away.
Her mouth opens, ready to rebuke it.
The thing congeals, takes form, and rushes forwards.
She feels it cover her skin, encasing her body and limbs in a solid layer of shadows. She tries to move, and it restrains her, tightening in response to her actions.
She feels it start to expand, crawling upwards towards her face. It reaches her chin. Her cheeks. Her nose. Her eyes. It closes above her.
She cannot see.
After a brief reprieve, the shadows start to push at her lips.
They are forced apart.
It does not rush down her throat and devour her from within. That would be a mercy.
Instead, it slowly reaches inside her. It expands once more. Moving tantalisingly slowly, it covers her lips. Her teeth. Her tongue.
Only then does it start to inch down her throat. As it does, she remembers.
Not the god she was before, but the being she was before even that, and the being before that, and so on.
She knows that she will return, as she has before. She knows that it will return, as it has before.
The shadow does not stop her last action.
She smiles.
She looks forward to next time.
And then she is gone.
What if we were both each other's pet and we looked after each other and sometimes we were both animals at once and we snuggled and had matching collars
