1. N Corp. Großhammer: Meursault's Story

31 lines

The child was surrounded by people in thick suits of armor.

Each individual carried a large nail in one hand, and in the other was a hammer so massive that it almost seemed improbable to hold with a single grip.

N Corp. Mittelhammer

Hear me, Großhammer.

One of them approached the child to report…

N Corp. Mittelhammer

The shadows of heresy are no longer seen in this area.

N Corp. Großhammer

……

The child, referred to as a Großhammer, gently exhaled. His breath trembled ever so slightly.

N Corp. Großhammer

You may return now.

The child's voice is always low and aloof.

His vocalizations were reflected by the mask that covers his face at all times, giving his voice a holy-sounding echo.

N Corp. Mittelhammer

What about you, Großhammer…

N Corp. Großhammer

I have a duty to see it to the end, for the One Who Grips has ordered it.

N Corp. Mittelhammer

If that is what the One Who Grips wishes.

Clatter, clatter.

All the others left the space, leaving the child alone in that corpse-littered corridor.

N Corp. Großhammer

Huff…

The child removes his mask.

It revealed his concealed side.

A small mechanical device covers his mouth. Green tubes are eerily embedded in his skin.

Right, that gadget must belong to K Corp.

N Corp. Großhammer

My faith… is draining.

The child's voice was now far shakier. It wasn't brought about by fear or dread.

It's a swelling, the struggle of something trying to break free.

N Corp. Großhammer

Ugh!

The tremble soon subsides, however.

It seems the child did something with the device about his mouth. The liquid in its tubes drained into it in an instant.

N Corp. Großhammer

I… am purity…

Clatter, clatter.

N Corp. Großhammer

A hammer… loyal to the One Who Grips…

The child wore his mask once again.

Thus, he walked away, muttering to himself.
