Beyond Redemption

By Craig Steven

“As greed of gain has drowned all temperance, there's nothing left to stem the rising blackness.”

-Marcus Bischoff

             I bundled my coat tight, fighting for its warmth, shivering violently regardless. The wind whistled around me and the temperature wavered around zero, threatening to freeze me where I stood. The tall chain-link fence surrounded me and the tennis court on which I stood, empty but for the blood that'd been spilled on it just hours before. Four separate blotches on the green cement conjoined to form a warped Rorschach test, though the clean-up crew had done a good job of ridding the site of most of the blood. Three victims I'd never met, and a fourth, the man that'd turned the gun on himself after murdering three others; my younger brother, Christopher.

This song, man.

I love listening to stuff like this while I'm writing. The instrumentals, the atmospheric voice, the content of it. Great listening.
