Without success he attempted to remove the metal from his body as his strength quickly plummeted lower than the depths of the hell that he was headed for. His vision blurred quickly as he gasped for air, the blood he treasured so preciously being the very thing blocking life from reaching him.

Smoke tinged with the darkness inhabiting his own soul rose through the vertical column above it and out into the night sky.
