Lights from the abyss

The blow of the evening winds sends slight chills through me, the city street is bustling with the steps of people, sky golden with ripples of grey clouds drifting ever so predictably across it. The empty church stands tall and captivating in the middle of the city's park, it was best to start here, after all, some of the energy might linger, maybe I can get a read on it? Or maybe I could even lure some details out of possible witnesses, yeah the possibilities are there alright.

In front of the church's main entrance stands two people, a man, and a woman. They both seem to be officers on the account of their uniforms, they would probably know something more about the situation, but it is better to proceed with caution. I pick up a faint vibration in the air, the woman looks surprised and picks up the cell, it was black with a white chrysanthemum key ring, peculiar. She then proceeded to what I assume was excusing herself to the guy and run off to answer it. It is strange but it was just something about her, what was this feeling? Hard? Cold? Wait, was it something else? A pattern? Yes, it was indeed something with the spiritual vibrations in this place, or was it her? None the less her companion is alone, I'll proceed then.

"Hey there officer, I heard about the news, I'm doing a paper on the incident. My name is Jake and I study crime investigation at the local college, is it anything you can tell me that the news reporters or papers may have left out? Did you arrive at the scene early?" It would probably work, cops could get chatty when it was about weird situations, and this situation could be defined as weird.

"We had some people like you coming here a bit earlier asking the same thing, they claimed to be from the university too", Wait, what? Busted?

"No matter, I will just tell you what I told them, God knows if we will ever be able to wrap this up, maybe you guys could, but you will give honor to me if you do", well that seems fair.

"Sure thing, tell me" Was it something with his eyes? A slight gleam, red blood vessels protruding, ah he had probably just been on duty a long time and was tired, well, less resistance, better for me I suppose.

"We got the call in early yesterday, it was quite early like at 6:21 am, I think. I arrived early at work that day and I received a call about possible multiple homicides, at a local church, when I arrived I could not believe my eyes, there they were all of them, all propped up at their positions, the priests and their congregation, just like they were about to deliver the casual Monday sermon, the priests were standing in place and the others were sitting still like they were looking at something in awe... But they were all dead, no external wounds, just dead... There was something strange tho, something I will not forget, their eyes, all of their eyes were open but they were all white, no iris or pupil, white with black veins protruding around their eye sockets. I'm telling you it gave me the creeps, I have no idea what was used, the official story is going to be ritual group suicide, but I will not believe that for one second". It's just as I suspected, this was big.

"What do you personally believe officer?" He hesitated.

"I believe it was murder, I have never seen any suicide pill do what was done to those poor people, it is fucked up tho right? Attacking a congregation of deaf people, it is just wrong", Wait, the congregation was deaf? That could be it, deaf people are susceptible to certain frequency vibrations, in other words, they weren't only believers, but because of their disability they had developed abilities to sense things others couldn't and therefore they achieved a way of communion, communion with something bigger, this was huge I need to prepare for anything.

"Ehem, Jake?" Oh, I had spaced out.

"Oh I'm here, you caught me off-guard that's all, it's just so messed up"

"Tell me about it, anyway I don't have anything more to say, and some other officers are gonna arrive soon and leave me and my partner that will surely be back soon off duty, so leave now".

The city is bustling yet again at the edge of the evening hours. Could it really be? Could it be one of the originals, cursed beings that infected our world with sin and tragedy since the dawn of man? No, it was probably one of their many offsprings. Sweat? Was I shaking? Nevertheless, if I get this one I would actually be able to make a difference, a difference in the suffering of this world, this putrid infection between this world and the next. I had felt it, that energy. I have to get into that church tonight and bait it out, can I finally stance a bit of this ever-flowing river of tears?

The hours came and went, the sunset, the humming of owls began, the orchestra of the meek were playing its tune as the silver line of the moon began to rise in the dark blue horizon, a few hours back the police officers had been switched, and these two didn't really seem to interested or focused on the job of guarding the crime scene, they were both idly chatting as the time stretched on, both seeming like they rather be somewhere else, it made it way easier than it should have been, sneaking up to the back entrance. The lock looks very old, not rusty but very old, which would make it ideal for lock-picking, I had my makeshift lock-pick on me for situations like this, *Click* the deadbolt had sprung away and the door swings up. Wait, footsteps behind me, had the guards noticed me? "We knew you would be here Chrys".
