“Q has landed himself at the top of the loser board!” Sal says “Tonight we have an extra special punishment, But first we have to introduce our special guest! Welcome to the show, Lucifer”
The grounds shakes violently under their feet as the ground cracks releasing black dust beneath them
They cough as the trio announces “ Our special guest will be Damning Q to the pits of hell for the ultimate punishment over the entire course of the show” The cloud of dust continues emerging from the cracks
The camera man moves back as a deformed and malnourished arm erupts from the smoke
“Get your robes on!” They dress quickly as the creature continues climbing out from the pits of the earth
It pokes it’s head out of the earth as it releases a horrific screech from its grotesquely burnt head
They begin smiling as they observe it’s large torso force it’s way of the ground
It crouches down on its hoofs as it leans over and shakes the dust off its large bloodied body
They stare in beauty at its thin torso with missing chunks, Ribs poking out from his burnt fur, layers of Fat, Bone, Skin and Muscle all in differing states of decay and protruding parts of its broken and cracked spine
“Before we begin the sacrifice we have a speech for you all” Joe says
“You have all been called here, Into a labyrinth of Sounds and Smells, Misdirection and Misfortune.
A labyrinth with no exit, A maze with no prize.
You don’t even realize you are trapped.
Your lust of blood has led you in circles all these years.
Chasing the cries of children in unseen chambers.
Always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach.
But you will never find them, none of you will.
This is where your story ends.”
Q is walked out of the darkness hand in hand by Larry, The other camera man, He sobs as he is offered to Lucifer
“You will not be remembered.
And the memory of everything that led to this.
Can finally begin to fade into the passing time.
As the agony of every tragedy should.”
Q is forced to kneel onto the cracked and protruding ground as he cries from the rock cutting into his knees
“For most of you I believe there is warmth waiting for you after your departure.
Although for tonight’s biggest loser, The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole.
Don’t keep our guest waiting, Old friend”
