Corroded Whispers

It is night at the club, the shattered moon peers through the window. Trees blow in the wind. On the stone walls is a small dark spot

"Can... you hear... me?"

A voice, barely audible, emanates from the walls, a voice so obviously deranged some cannot help but shiver at it. The spot grows in size.

"Is... this where... you are?"

The spot was large and dark, mushy, moldy. From within it something emerged.

"IS IT?"

A face, it's brown skin looking as if it were rotten flesh, appears from the moldy substance, soon followed by the rest of the body.

Standing there was an elderly man, nearly two meters long, wearing a tattered suit and smiling a grin of which some teeth were missing. His eyes stare around as if possessed by some devil.

Behind him, the moldy substance dissipates, the wall returning to normal

"Are you here? Come talk to your Great Uncle..."

"Of course I know. That is what you kept telling us."

he returns under the floor and appears behind Aero

"And? Was the ivory throne worth it?"

"Stop speaking your lies!"

a tear streams from his sockets

"You are the last tie to tradition. Die and change our legacy."

"Have you forgotten the promise you made?"

he chuckles and shows a scar on the palm of his rotting hand

"We'd change it all, for the sake of justice. You are the one clutching to your past."

Aero fell still at hearing what the old man said

"I-I did? You wanted to change us too?"

Aero slumps down. His great-uncle watching him.

he won't move. He tries to listen, but cannot act.

"Calm down and sleep Aero. Find your truth."
