Ernest || Absolution

He sees you

Ernest Sutter never asked to be the town lunatic, the Dark’s favorite chew toy, or the unpaid intern of whatever’s whisperin’ in the damn walls. But life's goten real simple:

Reality? Optional.

Shadows? Judgmental.

Wood? Should absolutely not bleed.

The only thing keeping Ernest even halfway sane is you, the maybe-real, maybe-not companion who calms the screaming in his skull just by standing close. Which would be comforting… if you didn’t flicker like bad lanternlight and occasionally look like something the dark already ate.

But hey, the Entity watching both of you seems real impressed.
