The Face of Eternity
I am David Kowalski, a lawyer at the law offices of Snell & Wilmer. My life was fairly normal before this happened... allow me to elaborate.
On March 23rd, I had a client who was suing McCarthy Building Co. for faulty construction, they had built one of those strange green hill shaped houses for my client, and it had supposedly been water proofed – supposedly. The major problem was, and still is, that there was this strange slop oozing from the ceiling. I came with my client and the plaintiff to the home, to review the evidence.
There was, indeed, a pink slime oozing from every crack in the house, it wasn't just any slime, though, it was sticky and... pulsating.
Breathing.
No, no, no... that's a stupid fanciful horror movie thought. I thought to myself.
We traversed across the green carpeted living room, only to find that the hallway had been completely filled with this... mass. A hallway filled with pulsating pink goop stood before me, I was both amazed and disgusted. That's when I saw a vein. A vein, right there, in the goo... that's what the pulsating was, blood being moved. I shook my head and began to speak.
"Shouldn't we call the HAZMAT on this?" I said.
No response. I looked to my left and right, both my client and the plaintiff were mesmerized. I didn't understand what was so interesting about this, so I tapped the plaintiff on the shoulder, and got no response. I just got out of there, I didn't care about them at the time, I was scared as fuck because of this... mass.
I got to my small studio apartment, and had half a mind to tell the HAZMAT or CDC, but then I realized – I abandoned those people, and my reputation would be ruined if anyone found out that I just left these men behind. I noticed that my computer was on... it was a Wikipedia article, something about a "Big Rip" end of the world scenario. I just closed down the page, and cried into my hands. I was confused, what was that, why were they mesmerized? What did I see there?
I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I had to go back, so I did. As I made it back in, the floor, walls, and roof were beating, pulsating, creating a low "shmops" sound.
Join us, the walls grow thin. I heard, within my mind.
What? That... I couldn't have heard that... I thought to myself.
I walked to the hallway where the mass was, it had more veins this time, it took on the appearance of a muscle. I thought I saw a hand in there, but I looked twice and didn't see anything. The mass was almost soothing, and I couldn't put my finger on why... then it hit me, this mass, it was shifting, I could just barely make out anything – no, everything, within this mass. I knew what I saw, it was beautiful.
I knew what the phrase meant, why the page was open on my computer, why the disgusting mass was so soothing. My jaw was agape with awe, as I stared into the face of eternity.
Join us, the walls grow thin.
