Twisted Perceptions - The Last Gate Within the Eye
The eye… Is it a mere reflection of the soul, or a portal to something darker, something beyond understanding? At first, it seems so simple—a cold iris staring back at you, a mere window into the mind. But as you look longer, things begin to change. Time warps. The edges of reality start to tear, and the eye becomes something else entirely.
Inside the blackness of the pupil, a shape begins to form—unnatural, barely comprehensible. A figure cloaked in shadows, clutching a scythe not forged of steel, but of something wrong, something that rips at the very fabric of existence. It gleams, but not with light—no, it shimmers with an absence, a hollow gleam that threatens to swallow you whole. It isn’t just a reflection of death; it is death. And it’s watching you. Staring back. A voice, distant and broken, echoes through your mind, too fragmented to understand, but the message is clear: "Is this what you see... or what you're meant to see?"
This isn’t just an eye. It’s a wound, a rupture between the living and the dead, between what is and what could be. The longer you gaze, the more your perception distorts. Time breaks down into jagged pieces. Space twists into shapes that defy comprehension. The eye—the portal—grows wider, pulling you in, suffocating you with its infinite depth. The eyelashes tremble, like the last quiver of life before the inevitable plunge into oblivion.
What is it? A glimpse of death? A fragment of life? No one knows. No one who’s dared to look for long enough ever returns. They fade, consumed by the eye’s hunger, as if they were never there at all. The truth is out there, somewhere, but only the lost ever find it—and the lost never come back.
