Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

A new day, another nightmare, another day to hate humans.

Walking out of the bathroom, Blake Luxander dropped the towel he had around his waist, looked into the mirror on the wall of his room, and stared at the figure which was reflected back at him with a deep gaze.

Standing at an impressive height of 6 feet, there was a time when Blake had excess more incredible attributes to say about his appearance, but right now his height was all he had, he was a 6-foot-tall monster and nothing else.

A bald head filled with numerous bumps and depressions, a face that had mangled,stretched and flabby skin, a nose with just a single twisted nostril, dried and cracked lips, a chest that had no nipples, a yellow, red and black coloured body and a shrivelled dick which had nearly had all of its flesh burst off and at this point could be only used to urinate.

Not shying away from what he was, Blake moved his head left and right, taking in the sight of the monster he had become and as he would do most mornings, he had a flashback to how he had ended up like this.

Though it was just 12 years ago, Blake felt like it had been a century yet he remembered almost everything like it was just yesterday.

Blake could still remember who he was back then, a really handsome 20-year-old adolescent who had just graduated college as the best in his class and had been offered a job by 3 of the country's biggest companies.

Everywhere Blake went, he received the best of smiles and wishes, especially from women, he was a sort of dream man and he found himself always constantly having to reassure his girlfriend that he wouldn't leave or cheat on her, a promise which he had strongly kept despite the several temptations.

With the strict discipline, words of wisdom and value instilled into him by his late father who had been a colonel in the army, Blake had been more than sure of his success in life, and with encouragement from his ever-loving mother, Blake had set his sights on reaching the top of the world, but then that fateful day had happened.

*** Flashback***

After spending some quality time with his girlfriend, Blake with a smile had decided to take the long walk back home rather than take the available bus but along the way, just as he made a turn, an explosion resounded from the building to his right.

Blake was quick to crouch down in fear of being hit by any flying object, and then hurriedly scamper away from the building, but he had just taken three steps away when a loud cry for help which could only belong to a child reached his ears.

Raising his head and looking up, Blake saw an 8-floor story building whose upper floors had become consumed in fire and smoke and in those upper stories in one of the open windows, he saw a boy and girl of about 10 years old, poking their head out of it, the boy looking directly at him and shouting for help while the girl furiously coughed with tears going down her eyes.

"Jump down I'll catch you" Blake shouted as he rushed back towards the building his hands raised up towards the children.

Looking left and right, Blake cursed at the fact that it was still midafternoon and people were still at their workplaces, the street he was on being empty.

Blake hurriedly reached to take out his phone and call for help but then remembered that it had run out of battery.

"Jump" Blake roared up to the two children but then the girl withdrew her head and disappeared from the window and a second later, the boy did the same seeming to be screaming out for the girl.

Standing there, though he could already hear the sound of people rushing over, Blake looked over at the floor the children were on, noticing that it was two floors below the building where the explosion had happened and then when he was hit with the tough decision of whether to rush up and save the children or not, his mother's repeated teachings on karma and selflessness flew into his mind and without seconds hesitation he sprang into action and rushed into the building.

This decision of Blake led to him rushing into a hidden inferno, discovering that he had been wrong about the lower floor being safe, getting trapped in thick dense smoke and eventually passing out in the midst of flames.

Though in the end the firefighters came and saved him, he had already suffered terrifying burns that had left him a monster.

****flashback end***

"I shouldn't have fought so hard to live in that hospital, I should have let death take me" Blake blandly said out loud, his words evoking no emotion from him and then with a shrug he moved passed the mirror and dressed up.

Of course, as a monster, if Blake wanted to live amongst humans, then he had to disguise himself after all no matter how used he had gotten to the disgusted and fearful looks he got when people saw his face he still had a mind which would rather not go through all that pointless drama and stares.

With a black hat on and a big black cloak with high collars to cover up his faceBlake exited his home to go to work.

Blake worked as a cleaner at a chemical plant, a place which required everyone to wear protection suits, suits which covered their face, a place which was constantly filled with radiation, and a place which made him the runt of runts clean its most radioactive parts if he wanted to keep his job.

Every morning, Blake would arrive at the bus stop early to take the bus and this morning was no different.

With today's morning being especially cold, Blake wasn't surprised to find himself the first person at the bus stop and he had just been standing there silently minding his business and waiting for the bus while brooding about his job when a ball bounced pass him into the road and then a kid soon carelessly followed after it.

When Blake initially saw the ball, he already easily predicted that there would be a kid, and without care, he watched the kid appear, run past him and step into the road.

Almost immediately, the loud honk of a truck and the high-pitched application of brakes sounded and Blake silently watched as the idiotic child froze smack dab in the middle of the road instead of using the little time he had to run to safety.

Silently standing to the side, Blake heard a scream from behind him and watched a woman rush into the road with all her might and push the child out of the way of the truck, her actions leaving her in his place.

"The love of a parent" Blake idly thought but then from the corner of his eyes, he watched the truck make a sharp turn to the right and before he could conjure a thought, it slammed into him and without delay, his body was sent into the air while his eyes were quickly drowned by darkness.
