Victory by Ablation
Leaping Shadow of the Hollow Hills
It should be noted immediately and preemptively that I happen to definitely not be the alter ego of a certain user known for his abrasivity. Wait, no. Abrasiveness? Yeah, that.
That being said, it should also be noted that as I step into the battlefield and toil in anguish, children all across the multiverse cheer and throw their hands into the air. The contrast is almost humorous in nature, if it wasn't so sad. And I take my sweet time toiling, too. It's one of my favorite activities.
If I could capture how it sounds in a single sentence, it would probably be something like, "mother Theresa, Jesus of Nazareth, Allah himself, oh holy defender, messiah of eons, Zeus the slayer, wielder of lightning, Buddha, he who is most enlightened, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, who could write a damn good book, Ulysses S. Grant, cheeky bastard, never found out what the S. stood for, my roommate, he who told me not to get that dog I really wanted to get, 'cause let me tell you, our apartment already smelled like dog food, oh god, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
Then I rip my soul out. Half of it, to be exact. Surprisingly, it looks more like a... kind of cartooney piece of cheese - a flat and floppy thing with holes all over. Kinda like smallpox? You can almost see through it. It's probably because of all the rituals I bailed out of mid-way, or maybe those deals I made with minor demons who claimed that they've turned a new leaf, and that their "old lives" were behind them. Well, I guess those peaceful protestors in ghost costumes were right: once a convict, always a convict.
Regardless, it's only half my soul, and I have the disappointing other half still stowed away within the confines of my chest, where nobody can ever take it. More so because nobody will honestly want to look there. I mean, really. The stench of dog food is unbearable.
Oh, right. I'm supposed to be waiting for someone. A special guest. I won't tell you who it is, but I can bet your bottom dollar (and not mine, I mean, who do you think I am, not broke?), his entrance will be far better than mine.
