I am catastrophe.

Angels sob as the broken glass loosely floats amidst the thick, fresh blood that pumps into my lungs with every gasp for air. My hands press into the blood, attempting to push myself up, only to slip and slam my panicked face into the floor once again. I want to scream. I want to call for help, but with every breath is pure pain, ripping away at my organs like a starved vulture.

Jesus towers above me, watching peacefully as the angels flutter around him and sob, their tears gently tapping the pool of blood. He takes a deep sigh and exhales, turning his head to look away as I glance up at him.

My heart throbs in sharp agony as I scratch away at the tiny cuts all over my body, forcing my skin open even more. Jesus drifts upward and the angels follow, wiping their tears as they go.

I am catastrophe.

I manage to flip my body, quickly spotting Lucifer in the distance. He spreads his wings gloriously as he comes nearer, opening his arms as skeletons arise from the dirt. A sensation of intense heat sweeps over my body as the sun disappears and the clouds turn black. My body throbs in agonizing pain as my wounds open further upon attempting to stand up again. I scream, feeling the glass scratch at my throat and mouth as the cry leaves my shredded lips. The skeletons stumble in my direction as Lucifers wings spread further.

"Come." He says, his voice making the Earth rumble as flames erupt from the ground behind him; the only source of light.
"Allow my salvation, slave." His body is a black silhouette against the bright flames beyond him, along with the skeletons as their rigid hands grab my limbs. I cry again, attempting to push them off of me as they lift my body from the ground. They fail to budge or flinch from my struggling.
"Your agony will perish, your suffering will conclude." Lucifer shouts loudly, the ground shaking angrily as the skeletons get closer to him. His arms extend and the flames rise higher as my wounds begin closing. I watch as the blood fades away into nothing, the glass ripping my body disappearing.
"Veni vidi vici, let my fall from above restore this mortal's natural condition!" He chants as my pain is suddenly brought to a halt.

My eyes close and my heart stops.

I'm awoken inside a transparent box. Beneath me is... me. My body, laying silently in a casket as my family gathers around in tears. I let out a sigh and press my hands against the box... looking down at myself.
