Happiness is gone from us leaving only depression behind. It seems even we can feel this much. Unholy, long-dead and nameless things started to roam freely in the darkest and secluded places; laughing, screeching, murmuring. I can hear them in the dead of the nights and now they even dare to come near to our places. Soon, very soon indeed the grinning madness will descend onto us to burn our souls."
