The Atomic Punk
DIES IRAE, DIES ILLA
Original Character by Harlekin; Adaptation by The Atomic Punk
“Sibyl, hey!†said David excited to have finally found his classmate.
“Hey,†replied Sibyl emotionlessly.
“Why are you hiding in here? I’ve been looking for you for hours!â€
“I just wanted some time to myself before the storm came. Close my eyes. Listen to some Mozart,†answered Sibyl, still with no emotion.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that you are having those ‘visions’ again.â€
“They are not ‘visions!’ They are quite real!†snapped Sibyl, this time rather angrily.
“So you were scared and decided to hide in a drain rather than come home from school?â€
“David, you don’t see. The storm is coming. Soon there won’t be a home,†Sibyl whispered and curled into a fetal position.
“Great, now it’s starting to pour. Mind if I crawl in there while we wait for the rain to pass?â€
“Sure, David. Now is not the time to be out in the open.â€
“Dear God, Sibyl, look! The rain… it’s turning into fire!â€
