Days 63-75: Dreams of genocide

I haven't been posting recently as Fade has been 'training' me hard, but I can hardly call it training it is basically him just beating me up between his 'jobs'. Like a week ago he came back with a bag and just tossed into the fire I was using to keep myself warm, I would have thought he'd trust me more considering he controls my life, he must be concerned because he told me to get a voice recorder, he says that some of the things he's involved in will cause me to lose time, or forget things I've done during the day, he says having the recorder will help me tell if any of this stuff has happened, because if it does..... he may have to kill me. Thing is I don't doubt he will, but maybe it'd be better, die me,  you know, since he will change me make me into him.

Ok might as well start off what this post is meant for,

Fade took me for a little sight seeing tour, took me to Africa I think we appeared in a desert, it was hot and dry, and very painful.

F: What do you see?
P: Sand, alot of sand.
F: Look again.
P: Still sand, is there a point to this I think I preferred cold England.
F: There is a point, this place used to be full of life 10 years ago, but the desert swept in, destroying all but the hardiest forms of life. *Fade picks up an ant that is covered in Silver*
But in it's essence it is death, this sand you see comes from rocks and animals that used to live millenia ago. They are gone now however, but this place used to be full of life at the beginning of our lives, you know what changed that, killed the area.
P: Didn't take you for one of the global warming party.
F: Humans did cause this, they have disrupted the machine, and believe themselves above the consequences that their actions wrought. This is why we do what we do, we kill people because the world cries out in pain and not one of them listens to the true wish of the world. The world for death, the Death of Humanity.
P: Dude, that's crazy, even for you, you're talking about mass genocide, the death of an entire species, what about your family, people you cared about.
F: I have no family and neither do you, if you turned up to your house now as you are they would be scared of you and, possibly, try to kill you. Humans have performed genocide of countless species, for sport, gluttony or just for the 'hell of it'.

*A hum almost a roar came up like from a great distance, the dunes also shifted*

P: What the hell was that.
F: The sands crying out for water, remembering a time when water flowed down there slopes, now only the sand pours like the water hoping it will do some good, you can see the world calls out in pain as it dies.
P: But then you'd have to die, me and you, and everyone, proxy and runner and innocent.
F: There are no innocents, they all choose to live this life, besides I've been dead for a long time now, and you became dead as soon as you came with me. You have no hope of a life outside of this, this is our purpose, we must perform it, to keep the machine ticking over, to maintain balance.
P: But...
F: We better get  moving you'll probably faint if you stay out here any longer.

We appear back in a London full of rain, we find a place that Fade obviously stays at sometimes, I can tell from the knives on the wall, and the blood soaked rags by the fire next to the suits.

F: Okay *He says with a flamboyant twirl and putting the hat he was wearing on a stand* Lets get started.

The room dissolved and I appeared in a road in as a city devoid of life and sound, only Fade stood in front of me, when suddenly he peeled away into a million pieces I was left alone, I heard Fade whisper, "Fight this". I started running trying doors and cars, until I heard the hiss fizz of a lighter behind me, Fade was there with a cigarette hanging limply form his lips as he smiled. "Running won't save you", he said as the cigarette flared and he disappeared into smoke, I closed my eyes trying to tell myself this was just one of his tricks. "Oh now would I resort to such lows", I smelt the smoke as he lent down to my ear, I opened my eyes and he was hanging upside down in mid air, "Boo". I ran again, but when I ran round one corner Fade clothes-lined me, "Oh sorry let me help you  up" he took my hand and threw me 20 feet in the air, all I could think was impossible, then he appeared to float in the air as I rose and rose. When I came back to his level he grabbed me by the throat, his cigarette still lazily flaring between his lips, he squeezed, I went light headed, it all went black, I came to in the room.

P: The fuck was that!?
F: A dream *He said lighting another cigarette*
P: It felt pretty real.
F: That's the point, that is how they get you sometimes, you need to know how to fight in a dream, because they will,  I could have kept you there forever, and tortured in ways so unimaginable my mind tries to forget them. You need to learn how to change the physics to suit your needs, so that you can win, he said holding what seemed like a flame in his head.
P: Can't you just do something normal for once.

He smiles with the cigarette in his teeth,

F: Now what fun would that be.
