Deliver me. Deliver me. Like overripe fruit… I…
This is Lieutenant Alexander Sporag of the Kytheria crew. Private Eckles is… He… When the ship went down, Private Eckles and I became separated from Captain Chloros and the rest. We took shelter in a bit of wreckage. At first we experienced symptoms of… euphoria. A donkey came and spoke to me in the night.
Then Eckles bled from the eyes. Later, he bled from everywhere else. On the third day…? I held his hand. The skin came off like a loose glove. Next day, I put him out of his misery. His head gave like overripe fruit. Keep rubbing my hands. Can’t get rid of that sensation.
Eckles is just a puddle now. Now. Now… I’m bleeding out of my eyes. I hear Eckles still complaining. Tell the puddle to shut up.
Deliver me.
