Issue 2 : Axiom: Cysticercosis

Death is only the beginning

Death to he who walks without awakening; death to him,

the mediocre who rottens in the dream; Death to the vane

idealist and the fatal frantic; Death for he, the one that walks

in darkness and searches for a light; poor baby, the only light

that he will find is that coming from the Dark Sun.

Death for me, because I believe and doubt; death to he who

lives without enjoying and to the one who enjoys without

living. Death without pain and with existence, resignation

and despair. Spirit’s end, slaving it to this illusion.

Welcome with open arms your death, brother. Enjoy it

‘cause you shall be back and –if only u know that- you

would want to die even faster. Death for you and your senses

that tie you. Death to this fantasy and awake to reality. Live

in despair and horror, don’t let them live you, that’s our

prison.

Die to rise up to the superior world; don’t have hope ‘cause

it is even worse, let your only hope be that the next time you

die will be the last.

Life is gray, there are no light or darkness sources, accept

this. Your optimism or pessimism is only a façade for reality.

You are the mightiest and a looser, the weaker and still a

winner.

Is this hard to accept? Don’t worry, someday –after

hundreds- you’ll learn this and more. Yes, brother, you will

learn even if you don’t want…

Welcome brother, we missed you.

Deadman DeJourneux (Bloodsucker Bluesman)

Kit Thornton

(NOTE: The following is an excerpt from All the Trials of Hell, a campaign sourcebook currently in development by Kit

for The Abyss.— Ed )

Deadman DeJourneux began life as Ulysses Thibideaux, a minor league blues singer, growing old and alcohol poisoned

in the 1930’s in Mississippi. He was a good, skilled, untrained musician, but the world is full of good musicians. To get

what he desperately wanted – fame, money, and respect, he needed more. He needed more of something. He needed that

thing that reaches out to the listner and makes the blues. He needed to make his music reach unshed tears, and touch old

scars. He did not have that. Not at all.

Like all Bluesmen, he had heard the old tale about playing at the crossroads. He did not believe it. He did not believe that

a black man would appear and tune his guitar, put a claim on his soul, and then give him the talent he sought. But he was

by a crossroad near New Orleans, on unseasonably cold day in March, playing in the rain.

Someone came and gave him a gift, and damned him. But it was not the messenger he expected, nor was it the gift he had

desired. A tall black man approached him as he played, and spoke.

“You ain’t that good.” The visitor said.

“I know.”

“D’you practice much?”

Ulysses scowled, “Until my fingerboard runs blood. Until I can’t stand it no more.”

“You got a lot of blood in you?” The stranger smiled, showing large, sharp, white teeth.

“I guess much as anybody.” Ulysses’ voice wavered. Something in him was screaming. But he did not flee.
