It’s that time of year again~!

Thought I’d let Seto sleep in this year. Saraki found her way onto his bed and got comfy with him.

Lesere Saraki, 11.02.2012, St Thomas hospital, Waterloo, London, England. 

The statement describes the unusual incidents experienced by Lesere - a nurse at St. Thomas Hospital - on December 23rd 2011.  She was working the night shift and everything was going as a normal night would until two strange men were admitted to the hospital.

One had second degree burns covering his entire body, the other had them all over his body except for his head. Neither of their clothes showed any signs of singeing - and whatever had caused the burns must have passed through the clothes without burning them. 

The less-burned man carried a passport naming him as Gerard Keay, and he only carried that, and a small zippo lighter with an eye carved into it. He had small eyes tattooed over every joint and his heart, and where the eyes lay the skin was unburned in a small diameter around them She heard the older, more burned man chanting (”Asag wypalać, the lightless flame”). She went into the waiting room and noticed it was completely empty, which was strange for it being 3am, and heard a noise like a beast growling. The drinks in the vending machine began to boil and explode, and the door handles warped and gave off an extreme heat when touched. 

She went back into the room and noticed Gerard awake. He doesn’t notice the pain from his burns, and starts preparing to kill the man. Lesere chooses to help him - now desperate after her strange ordeal, and he says “Yes, better for you the beholding than the lightless flame”. He stabs him in the neck with a scalpel, and his body disintegrates. 

The people returned shortly after, and the next two weeks Gerard was cared for before being released into the custody of his “mother”. Lesere now feels as if she’s being watched. 

Notes: obvious affiliations with the eye and the desolation. Jon notes that Asag in Sumerian myth is a demon of disease and corruption - but that it could boil fish alive in the water due to its ugliness. Lesere seems to be marked after this, and the footage of the night shows the people in the hospital leaving calmly, before a human eye flashes unnaturally in the footage. Sasha worked on this one.

Entities: The eye, the desolation, the corruption (loosely)

The last couple of days have been really rough on my mental health, so I drew some quick vent art to try and calm down.
