[ Set in and wait, the thing in his blood whispers to him. A hundred hundred echoes of the same reverberant voice, distorted, faraway, madly overlapping.

Set in and wait and push forward when you see the chance. You're so inimical now to all of them that whatever you touch of theirs, you'll change. Corrode. Eat away. Transform into more of what they did to you.

It's what they all deserve.


The tendril noses forward under his skin, exploratory, stretching and branching through the meat and into the blood vessels. One needletip, then another, sinks itself deeper, digging after bone marrow. It doesn't hurt. None of it hurts; but it feels at once clinical and lukewarmly, horribly intimate.

Who's indestructible now, soldier?
