You look at the girl and consider killing her, but death is only really fun when it's you doing the dying and you have done a lot of that.

As a building was worn by time's touch in the real world it took form in The Realm Of Death. As desert formed due to climate change in The Realm Of Life, an ocean grew from a puddle in the realm of death.

He continued though as if drawn on the conveyor belt of the damned, onwards to face his destiny.
