Fan Fic: Contamination

[Sagasu]

Kangae sighed, and let the sleeping materials in his hands drop onto one of the couches. Then why had he seen it? Why was he constantly suffering because of it? Just achieving nothing but burrowing deeper into confusion, he decided to take his host's advice. Entering a white washed bathroom felt familiar, though the various pictures of family members, not his, made him feel even more forlorn. Stripping down and entering the shower stall, he let the hot water caress his weary body. Such simple things seemed to always take his mind off the present, but not this time.. He closed his eyes and let the streams break over his face, and immediately he opened them again. It was there, in his mind, the white orb, the nest, the black spiders, the screams.. It was all gathered together in a swirling vortex, slowly but surely ripping away at his sanity. Helpless to prevent it, the newman merely hung his head, watching separate trickles of water flow down the long strands of hair that fell past his face. Droplets dripped down towards the crystalline surface of thousands beating against the floor. Spray from it hitting his body collected on the walls, forming a little field of moisture, which the occasional part condensed and ran down to the ground, leaving in its wake a new pattern which more would travel and depart from. The FOnewm wiped an eye, and then paused mid action. The water getting into his eyes wasn't from the shower, he was crying.

He dried off and wrapped the towel around his waist, since he didn't have any clothes to change into he would just have to clean the ones he had with him. Glancing at it, he remembered the instructions that had come with the outfit. Hand wash only, and let drip dry.

"Great.. just damn it all to hell why don't you." He muttered to himself, and set to work at scrubbing his garments after locating some soap with which he could do so with. When he had finished and set it up to dry, Kangae went back and let himself fall upon the couch. He stared at the ceiling for a while before drawing the blankets about him, and closed his eyes for the second time in the past three hours. Yet again, the vivid nightmares that seemed to be lurking behind every corner in his mind forced him to open them again. The newman cursed, this surely would be the death of him.

Kangae could feel them, in his mind, in his body.. He could feel them out there,

He could feel them coming..

Well, there have been a few changes to the plan. first of all, chapters will only be about 10-15 pages each, but there will be a lot more of them. For those of you not used to this type of length, I suggest you find some other fiction to read

I will take breaks inbetween writing chapters, but because of the decreased length, I won't be so concerned about stretching ideas out as much as possible, so they should be getting to you in a relatively timely manner ^_^

thats all for now, C&C is always welcome, and thanks for reading.

as for me..

well, time for sleep
