We don't have as far to go, as we've already been
- Location
- Arkansas, and also Florida
There were things seen here that none should ever need see. Demons were spawned here. Silent movies that played on a screen that never closed. Things that haunt dreams, crippled lives. Bad things happened here. There were things heard here that none should ever need hear. Things none had ever heard before, Things heard still... Awake and walking. Asleep and talking.
Bad things. Terrible things. Gruesome things. Vile things. Heroic things. Unforgettable things. Things felt here that would never be felt again. Things felt that never should be. Things felt that shouldn't ... but were... Love, Hate, Fear, Rage, and Hope the least of all.
Missing things. Broken things. Unforgotten things.
In the end we were left with memories, words, bits and pieces, sounds and visions. Memories that come to us unwanted, unbidden, yet come to us still. No accounting, no wage that wants paying that we would not gladly pay, have paid, pay still. Visions that we would surely, as surely as sin, be rid of.
Memories of that far off Valley in that far off time.
