There were smiles around the table that our brother wasn't just going to take his new wealth and abandon us.
"It's nine o'clock!" our mother chimed out as her clock did.
We all rose and went around to the cabinets surrounding the kitchen to hold thier doors closed.
The cups shook and plates trembled as the approaching train barrelled closer to the house.
The curtains on the kitchen window blew inside when it shot past, pouring clouds of filth into the room around us.
It was all we could afford. And we suffered together, until now.

No Pain (Part 15)

The fish person had a fistful of cash that her pointed teeth shredded into. Slivers floated from her mouth.
"Your brother was suffering, but we took away his pain" she floated upside down "he kept asking for you."
I was released and followed the girl around flowing reeds until we came to a curtain of them Henry laid behind.
His guts had been torn from him and his eyes were lifeless.
"See? No pain."
Shock rocked me, but I didn't mourn my brother. Instead, I snatched up the suitcase of cash and powered for the surface of the sea.

I started to sob.
"Darling" Mum cooed "it's OK. It's not so cold if we stick together."
I nodded to her, sniffling. The dungeon started to warp into our little apartment by the train tracks.
"Let's just sleep for a little" Dad smiled weakly as he huddled in next to us.
"The things we could do..." Henry smiled and laid his head on Mum. I held onto Dad.
We all laid on the cold floor as the fumes of the train billowed into our little apartment dancing with hallucinations, all of us drifting off together.
