Crimson Town

"The horizon is watching you.”


The crimson sky illuminates the town from the horizon, acting as the sun in the lifeless air. Staring at the horizon for even the slightest moment will cause feelings of anger to rise within yourself, ever so increasing as you keep staring at the crimson manifestation. Eventually, you're left to thrash around senselessly in your rage as the constant increase in hostility further descends your mind into pure insanity. Everything in sight is shrouded in an intense red tinge that is heavy on the eyes but not unbearably so. The buildings are old and rugged and look most familiar to you, but this familiarity is quickly overshadowed by a sense of violence and instability emanating from near them. A downpour suddenly occurs when standing next to one, the rain completely drenching you, but you don’t feel cold as you normally would. Staring at your reflection in a puddle near a building for a moment causes the rain to reverse and rise back into the sky, blinding your vision as raindrops fill your eyes like tears. You want the rain to stop, but it never ends as it continues to soar into the air.

As you traverse through the lonely streets, a subtle feeling of lament possesses you, but crying is impossible here. Walking through a park causes a seemingly instant sense of paranoia. You know nobody is watching you, yet you identify an immense feeling of bloodlust near. Stumbling through a church cemetery leads you to feel uneasy, some tombstones appear to have gibberish written on them, while others are completely blank. Near the end of the cemetery, a flight of stairs dug into the ground leads down into complete darkness, something tells you to know your place. Stopping in a field of grass lures you into walking near a forest, you don’t feel safe, but the trees allude to you. The rain grows heavier and the wind blows against you and the expanse; a major contrast to the atmosphere previously.

You’re drawn closer to the forest and are met with a dark shadowy entrance into the abyss. What lies in the trees is unknown to you, but you desperately feel you must know what's ahead. You examine the trees closely and discover that some float in the air above the ground, some are combined with one another, and some protrude far and high into the sky. The horizon grows darker as you make a decision. You see a pair of eyes as you enter the forest, but you block it out of your mind as you set into the unknown…
