    Moonlight Over a Scavenging Bird

    For tonight’s tale, we join a doomed soul that has been locked away. He was first removed from society, and then from all sources of light. His sanity did not survive. The years he spent in his perpetually darkened cell could not be counted by his broken mind. He clawed at unforgiving walls and pulled at iron bars until his body failed him. He devoted his wretched life to vain attempts at escaping that darkness, and he failed every time. Soon the denizens of the darkness found him and dined on his flesh and blood. Before long, he was forced into a sickening communion with these horrible creatures.             Satisfied with his ruined state, his captors pulled him from his cell, threw him into the back of a vehicle, and dumped him onto a dirt road in the middle of a ruined village. But it is not just any ruined village. It is the very village from which he was abducted. In fact, it is the very village he played a role in ruining. Emboldened by the familiarity of the road beneath his feet, he sets out to reclaim his village.             Those plans are cut short by the arrival of two goons known as them boys. They inform the prisoner that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated in this village. In fact, they are there to see to it that he accepts the changes all of them have been through. The prisoner then has to acknowledge the horrific changes he was forced to undergo in the darkness.               This tale is dark and deals with imprisonment, supernatural elements, body horror, mistrust in government institutions, and antisocial behavior. Moreover, it contains profanity and references to past stories. Listener discretion is advised.
