 8\noindent The horrid, crushing sound of a gushing river broke through Luke
 9Bavarius's rushing mind. He had awoken from a deep sleep to the
10sound. The horrid sound. He had a hangover from too many Coors, and
11it was driving him mad. Ever since the alley, where the ghoul had
12deformed him, he drank every night until he blacked out. Otherwise,
13there were the dreams. The horrid dreams.
14
15But now the river had woke him up. It made no sense. He lived in
16the city, not by a river. And the sound was driving him mad. He
17vomited.
18
19He got out of bed and shook the horrid vomit off his hands. He went
20to his window. He looked out of his window. His apartment had been
21moved from the busy city to a deserted hill overnight. At the foot
22of the hill was a river. A black river. He went to his front door.
23He opened it. He stepped outside. Rough stone steps lead from his
24door down to below the surface of the rushing river. He turned
25around and looked at his apartment. It was as though a giant had
26reached in to his apartment building and scooped his apartment out
27and then dropped it on top of the hill. The grass on the hill was
28brown and dead. Around the base of the hill there was a dark,
29impenetrable forest. Bavarius thought he could see faces peering
30out at him from between the trees. Suddenly, night fell. Luke ran
31in to his apartment.
32
33The moon was the only light to be seen. There were no stars. The
34moon shone down and was reflected on to the river.
35
36Two fiends rose out of the river, walking up the stairs. They were
37as tall as a tall man, but fat and obese. They looked the way
38babies would look if they were as tall as a tall man. They were
39white with black splotches like an albino who had had mud thrown on
40him. They were naked. Bavarius quivered with fear, and held his
41Beretta close to comfort him.
42
43The manbabies stopped as they reached his door. They shouted to him
44inside the house in unison. ``Luke Bavarius!'' they shouted. ``Let us
45in and we will save you from some pain!'' Their voices were like a
46sick man vomiting while trying to talk.
47
48``No!'' Luke shouted.
49
50The manbabies each raised a hand and pressed it against the door.
51The door flew off it's hinges and slammed into a wall like from an
52explosion. The manbabies entered Luke's apartment.
53
54Bavarius was still shaking with fear, but his killer instincts
55kicked in. He leveled his trusty Beretta and fired 4 quick shots: 2
56in each of the ghouls' heads. The bullets struck them and black
57ichor vomited out of the wounds. Soon though it congealed and
58clogged the holes. The manbabies smiled and walked forward. ``No!''
59Luke shouted. They didn't listen. They walked him out of his
60sliding glass door that used to lead to his balcony. It no longer
61led to his balcony. He wasn't in the city any more.
62
63Outside there was a flat black stone, like a chunk of a freshly
64paved road, but it looked natural. The manbabies led him to it and
65held him against it, one at either end. The one by his head held
66his arms down against the stone. The one by his legs held his feet
67down against the stone.
68
69Skinny, emaciated people emerged from the forest and came up to the
70stone. In their hands they held sharp shards of rock. One by one,
71they stepped up and cut a deep gash in Bavarius's skin. He screamed
72horridly. Wherever his rust-colored blood vomited from his body
73onto the grass, the grass came to life with a rich golden sheen.
74The life spread across the grass slowly.
75
76``No!'' Luke shouted.
77
78Luke died.
79
80When the last of his blood had left the wounds, the manbabies each
81grasped their end tightly and tugged, ripping his body in half.
82Each tucked their half under their arm and trudged down the stairs
83and under the horrid black river. As they submerged, the river
84seemed to dry up, leaving a barren riverbed.
85
86``It is good,'' the leader of the tribe said to his woman. ``Our crops
87will grow again.''
88
89``Yes, it is good,'' said his woman, patting her pregnant stomach.
90``Little Luke Bavarius will not starve.''
