I want to smell dark matter
Before the Squidinator could answer they were interrupted by loud screaming. There were other people in the woods. Supplicants? Or had they come to kill the Squidinator? That happened sometimes. Very rarely, but it happened. Usually suplicants would arrive and tear the attackers apart. The Squidinator didn't kill them himself...well, not by choice. He couldn't help it if his ink made them choke.
"They're all around us," said Lisa. They had been so engrossed in conversation that they hadn't heard the people coming.
"Stay close to me, I'll protect you," said the Squidinator, strolling over to Lisa. She looked reluctant but followed him as he walked out of the clearing. There were people in the woods. A man spotted the Squidinator and yelled.
"It's him! It's the Lord! I LOVE YOU, OH MASTER!" he said, throwing himself to the ground.
"Not attackers then," said the Squidinator. "Follow me, servants. This wood is no place for proper worship!"
"You're sick," said Lisa, not understanding why he'd said it.
"I need them in the open for what comes next," said the Squdinator. They made their way into a street. A dozen or so worshippers came out of the woods. They all threw themselves on the ground as the Squdinator watched them.
"WE LOVE YOU, WE NEED YOU, PLEASE LOVE US!" they cried.
"Please, I'm not anything special," said the Squidinator. "Do not worship me!"
"HE IS SO HUMBLE, WE MUST WORSHIP HIM MORE!"
"You see?" he said to Lisa. "No matter what I say they won't stop."
"Here come more," said Lisa. Another group of people coming from the woods.
"WE ARE THE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF THE LORD SQUID!" said one of them. "We do not kneel."
"Good!" said the Squidinator!
"He favours us!" said the leader of the second group.
"That's not what I meant..." said the Squidinator, but it was already too late.
"We have displeased the Lord," said one of the kneelers. "We must kill this other groupd to show we are the true faithful!" And the fighting began just like that.
"Stop!" said the Squidinator as they began to claw each other apart. "I am displeased by this!"
"He's displeased, fight harder!" It would have been comical if people weren't dying. Lisa recoiled in horror as she saw on man stomp on a woman's head, grinding it into the pavement. Another woman pulled out a gun and shot the man in the neck. She then madly turned the gun on herself. "I am not worthy of living in your presence!" she said.
"No," said Lisa. "There's only death now. Only ever death."
Finally only one man was left standing. He looked at the Squidinator with tears in his eyes.
"Why do you favour this girl?" he asked, meaning Lisa. "She is not special. I will kill her!"
"I ORDER YOU NOT TO!" screamed the Squidinator. The man had picked up the woman's gun. He was pointing it at Lisa.
"But I love you more than her!" he said. The Squidinator stepped in front of Lisa. Just in time, as the bullet hit him. It did not hurt, of course.
"WHAT HAVE I DONE!" said the man. He turned the gun on himself and blew his brains out.
"You should have let me die," said Lisa. It hurt the Squidinator a little that she hadn't thanked him.
"I want to make this right!" said the Squidinator. "AND NO I NEVER RAPED ANYONE." He was angry. He hadn't meant to shout.
"And you want credit for that?" she said. "You want me to say you're a great guy because you're not a rapist?"
"No...you...you asked me is all," he said. He'd been lying anyway. He had slept with some girls, at first. He hadn't even thought about what was happening. He'd been less himself then, more Squid than man. He'd ravaged them with his strangely mutated penis. And he'd loved it. That was until he'd accidentally killed one of the girls by released oil on her when he'd orgasmed. He hadn't had sex since then. He didn't even masturbate anymore, that was how depressed he was. But he hadn't KNOWINGLY raped anyone, he didn't think. Surely that did count for something? He started laughing at how pathetic he was. He stooed there laughing madly. He saw Lisa backing away. But she looked numb. Most of the fight was gone from her.
"This is life now," she said. She was looking at something...the gun. She was over and grabbed it. The Squidinator ran after her, but she was aiming it at her own head. "I can't take this anymore."
She squeezed the trigger.
"They're all around us," said Lisa. They had been so engrossed in conversation that they hadn't heard the people coming.
