4 Chapter Four: Strangers

Sitting in the middle of the floor in the dark with my earbuds on; The music on loud to drown the sound of all things sad. Slumped over sitting low, upon weird thoughts flow. Two masked creatures in all apparel white, stand before me in might, staring fixedly into my eyes.

One steps forward and removes the earbuds from my ears, the other in silence, raises his finger to the side of his mask where his ear is hidden. The first masked phantom then held up his hand in front of me, I see in his palm, a severed ear. Alarmed, I simultaneously realize an odd sensation instantaneously, on my left ear. Touching the side of my head, and feeling no ear near, I realize that my ear is here, in the masked creature's hand. What the greatest mystery to me was beholding no blood or gore upon the floor from the loss of my ear. The stranger then raised my ear to his lips enclosed in the mask, and spoke his task. "Embrace the menaced. Make haste to become stronger. Do not be saddened, help those who's lives are maddened."

With these words, he and his companion vanished.
