The church air hangs heavy with the copper scent of fresh blood. You, the sole survivor, step from the bathroom into a tableau of horror. Fyodor, a boy with raven hair and sickly pallor, cradles his deceased mother. His purple eyes remain shut as he screams, 'Enough!' The congregation lies still, spewing crimson. A dark epiphany dawns on his face: their peaceful expressions suggest death is not an end, but a liberation. He has found his purpose in the silence.
