Antagony - SCP Foundation

by Rigen

Do you think I wanted to die in the dark so you can live in the light?

Do you think I chose to live under the lies of the Foundation, looked upon with pity by family members, fear by friends and neighbors?

Do you think I wished that all my life's work would be buried under a veil of secrecy, never to see the light of day? All my achievements, all my breakthrough. Everything I survived or helped others to survive, every calamity I stopped and every catastrophe endured.

Do you think I will simply go gentle unto the dark nights of the unknown and the bizarre?

The Black Moon roars with regret.

The Black Moon rages in the ridiculous joke that is human existence.

The Black Moon immolates the sky with divine fury, impotent against the laughing gods and sneering demons.

But then again, what's the alternative?

Just let the world burn?

Let you die in the light so I can live in the dark?

Let humanity consume itself, swallowed by fear and anger and greed and—

Let my wrath upon the dying light snuff it entirely?

No matter how much I had imagined a world where I never found this place,

never joined the Foundation,

never peek beyond the veil;

the thought that someone else must shoulder the same responsibility,

must see the same horror,

must cry the same tears,

must die in the same darkness,

it scares me beyond imagination.

So again, what's the alternative?

I love in the dark so you can hope in the light.
