《He-Thing and the Cabal of the Cosmos》All He Possessed
Advertisement
Am I grateful?
He-Thing asked himself,
for my life?
Did he not have
fistfuls of regrets?
Was there not so much more
he had planned to do?
Oh, Great Father of Fathers,
He-Thing prayed.
Please protect me
do not
take me into your heart yet.
But was he grateful?
I am grateful,
He-Thing prayed.
And a peacefulness
washed over him.
But he knew it was false.
Shortly after Danide left,
two men arrived
to wheel He-Thing
to the operation chamber.
They weaved through the halls
expertly,
wordlessly,
and deposited him
in a wide room
with a circular hole
in the ceiling,
through which
the morning sun
poured brilliant light.
“Hello, lord,”
said the surgeon,
a handsome man
with receding gray hair
crowning his stone face.
“There is wonderful light
this morning.”
Standing above He-Thing,
gleaming
in the morning light,
was the surgeon’s
science-claw,
a marvel of modern technology,
prodigious
in its sharpness,
with chrome hydraulics,
and a shining green power gem
inlaid in its heart.
It was an incredible tool,
capable of miraculous feats,
so He-Thing had heard,
but the thought of being
beneath its blade
filled him with fear.
“I am ready when you are,”
he told the surgeon.
As they made their last preparations,
He-Thing’s eyes roamed
around the room,
and met the gaze
of Nurse Geuraine
from behind her
spectacles and veil.
She raised her eyebrows,
maybe she was smiling,
but it was...
hard to tell.
He closed his eyes.
He was so tired.
The pain was so great.
Then she was standing over him,
the sunlight a halo
around her head.
“Breathe in the cloth,” she said.
She pressed something soft
over his nose and mouth.
He-Thing took a deep breath.
The world became wavy.
He thought again of what
the Indigo Goddess had said —
she had promised
he would cause
the suffering of others
in his quest;
not just his own.
Euphoria began to
stream through his blood.
He was not going to die.
This was almost over
and he would soon return
to his mission.
If the Indigo Goddess
existed
then what was the All-or-Nothing?
Were lies
all he possessed?
