An illusion is darkness. Those who cannot see the darkness cannot resist its sweet temptation and are stained black. Eventually the darkness envelops the light controlling everything. - Luka Crosszeria from Betrayal Knows My Name

I walked down the dark street with my hands deep within my sweat shirt pockets. The world around me silent except the occasional boom from the thunder and the pounding on the ground from the rain. I didn't mind getting soaked and in fact I felt calmed. It just showed me that the world was moving and it wasn't going to be put down by us humans.

I turned the corner seeing the familiar gates ahead. I also saw the grave digger standing there for me. He was an short old man easily in his late forties, early fifties. The rain jacket that he always had on even if it wasn't raining pulled over his head. The lantern shaking in his gnarled fingers.

"Hurry girl before I locked this gate for good." Mr.Janus groveled out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, mother woke up again and I had to get the generator started for her." I told him hurrying by the old man and the rusty bars.

"It's fine, just make sure you lock up when you leave and put the keys in the usual spot." He grumbled, handing me the keys and walking back to the cabin on the grounds.

"Yes sir, I will sir." I answered nodding taking the keys from him.

"Enough with the sir already." I heard mumble and I watched as he walked away.

I turned to the gates pulling it to me and inserting the key inside the lock, listening to the click than pulled it out. I pushed against it checking to see if it gave but it didn't. I smiled, turning walking down the dark path. I clicked the key ring around my belt, hearing the ching of about twenty keys hitting each other.

I turned to a single grave that was the furthest back, near the trees. I sat down beside it leaning my back lightly against it. I stared up at the sky allowing the rain to run down my face like tears. I turned moving to trace the name Daniel M. Rogers with my fingers gently.

"Hey Dad it's me again... like always... Mom is getting worse. Her cancer is progressing faster than the doctors believed it would... The worst part about it is the fact that she refuses to get treatment. She keeps saying that she wants to die without having medication in her but I know that it's only part of the truth. She doesn't want me to be dealing with the bills. She acts cold towards me telling me I'm a terrible daughter and such but I know full well that it's all to keep me safe... I hate it Dad. I hate it so much. I wish you were still here... It's not the first time I said this either... But I hate you too. If you hadn't of been so selfish and taken your own life leaving us alone. Maybe than we wouldn't be stuck in the situation like this. Living in a dump of a house and suffering each day. Mom needed you the most. I can live without you but she can't. That's another reason she's letting herself die..." I smacked the ground angry. "Because she wants to be with you!" I yelled out hitting the ground again.

I got up kicking his head stone hard, ignoring the ping of pain in my foot.

"You promised that you would stay with her forever and then look at what you did to yourself! You shot yourself in the god damned head! Why?! Because of a stupid ass reason such as you were depressed! Maybe it was better you died! You were drinking your life away any way! You forced your own daughter to forget about her own life to take on the role as mother bird! Your a dick bag! Asshole! Mother fucking bastard! I stopped going to school because of you!" I kicked it again. "I'm lying all the time because of you!" Kicked again. "And now I'm having to work in a place where I constantly have to bury dead bodies like your own!" I screamed.

I knew that Mr.Janus probably heard me but I didn't give a shit. I wanted to get all of my pent up anger out before I blew up on an actual breathing person. I kicked the gravestone a last time before I stomped away.

"Your a terrible fucking father." I mumbled, stuffing my hands deeper into my pockets.

I stared at the ground as I descended deeper into the darkness below.
