On that fateful day, Lucifer was walking through the park when the haggard looking man came running at him. Initially he felt surprised but then that turned into confusion.
When the man finally arrive in front of Lucifer he suddenly collapsed.
Lucifer was surprised and crouched down to help the man. But upon closer inspection Lucifer noticed he was riddled wounds that were still fresh across multiple parts of his bodies.
Lucifer was shocked for a few moments before he immediately decided to call an ambulance but the wounded man suddenly said
"Please...I-I don't have much time left.."
'Don't worry sir an ambulance is coming' was what Lucifer wanted to say but what came from the other side of the phone call wasn't what he expected as he only heard static noises.
The wounded man once again said
"Please..would you accept becom-"
"Don't worry sir I'll bring you to the nearest hospital around here."
Said Lucifer as he tried to lift the man. But the man refused to move.
"Please..l-listen to me.."
"If I were to answer your questions would you follow me to the nearest hospital"
"If I-I am able to, I'll be glad to go."said the man while trying to smile only to have his lips going into a straight tense line.
"M-my question is w-will you accept to replace me?"
"Yes. Now let's go sir."
Said Lucifer urgently as he tried to carry the man once again, only to find out that the man was happily smiling as if he was the luckiest man to be alive, but his body was slowly turning into ashes bit by bit. Until there was nothing left.
Confused and surprised, Lucifer look around to find the man only to notice that the world that initially had been beautiful and vibrant had lost its colors and became bleak and depressing, everything was cracking as if they were broken, the sky was also experiencing the same phenomenon, cracking like it was made of glass.
Lucifer felt himself panicking so he tried to sooth it out by breathing in and out.
Everything slowly cracked as if to test his mind to its limits.
Everything that had cracked and crashed onto the ground, breaking in pieces slowly disappeared as if they were all a dream.
Until only Lucifer remained floating in nothingness...
