404 - File Not Found

Disconnected.
Light pulsing through fiber-optics
Its message remaining undeciphered
The decryption module has encountered a fatal error and must close.
Do you want to report this error to... somebody?
Anybody?
Is anybody out there?
God, are you listening? It's me, Marduk.
A heart beats weakly, flickering like a fading candle.
A sigh of exasperation would be enough to extinguish its heat and leave only a brief glowing ember
Boredom blows smoke into the chamber and waits for it to fill
Drowning out the small amount of oxygen needed to rekindle the burn and relight the wick.
What more is there to say?
Can anything erase this Being being conquered by such a petty thing as not being able to breathe?
