At approximately the witching hour of 3:10 p.m. on a smoldering fall afternoon, Infernal Plaza, a bustling nexus of commerce in the heart of Sulfuric City, became the stage for a harrowing dance of death. A man, wielding what witnesses could only describe as a blade forged in the darkest depths, embarked on a chilling spree that left six souls departed and several others in the clutches of agony. The assailant, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery, met his demise at the hands of a valiant officer from the Brimstone Borough Police Department, identified only as Inspector Sable Nightshade.
The scene unfolded like a dire symphony. Shoppers, many clutching their little demons tightly, fled in terror through the molten corridors of the plaza as chaos erupted around them. Witnesses describe a sinister calm surrounding the attacker, as if he were merely strolling through a park of perdition, rather than orchestrating a macabre spectacle. “They just said run, run, run—someone’s been stabbed,” recounted a petrified patron, whose afternoon of soul-searching shopping turned into a nightmare.
Inspector Nightshade, responding to the frantic calls of the damned, confronted the assailant as he brandished his infernal implement. With steely resolve and a heart forged in the fires of duty, she acted swiftly, ensuring that the blade’s dance was halted, albeit after irreparable damage had been done. The aftermath was a tableau of despair: five women and one man, their lives snuffed out like candles in a cruel wind.
The wounded, among them an infant merely 9-months into their earthly trial, were whisked away to nearby sanctuaries of healing, their fates hanging in the balance. Brimstone Borough Police Commissioner, Lilith Ravenwood, assured the public, “We are confident that there is no ongoing risk, and we are dealing with one person who is now deceased,” firmly stating that the incident was not rooted in terror, but perhaps in a more personal hell.
This incident has ripped open the old wounds of fear, reminding many of the strict regulations that came into existence after a similar tragedy decades ago, and yet, it seems even the strictest controls cannot always govern the darkest corners of a twisted mind.
As the community reels from this sudden descent into horror, high figures of earthly and unearthly stature have voiced their dismay and condolences. Among them, King Lucifer III and Queen Persephone of the High Underworld expressed being “utterly shocked and horrified.” Their sentiments echoed through the netherworld, a stark reminder of the fragility of peace, even in a realm accustomed to constant turmoil.
As this infernal reporter reflects on today’s events, one cannot help but ponder the forces that drive such darkness into the light. Are we ever truly safe, or is the next descent into chaos merely lying in wait, biding its time? In the heart of Sulfuric City, as the flames of the plaza cool, the embers of unease continue to smolder, a stark reminder of the inferno that can erupt from within.
