I HAVE A MOUTH Camion AND I MUST SCREAM
"I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within. Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance. Inwardly: alone. Here. Living under the land, under the sea, in the belly of AM, whom we created because our time was badly spent and we must have known unconsciously that he could do it better. At least the four of them are safe at last. AM will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet ... AM has won, simply ... he has taken his revenge ..." "I have no mouth. And I must scream." Artist's Notes: Watercolor in honor of my favourite short story "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. If you like Sci-Fi and dark stories with unhappy endings then this one is definitely for you. Also, AM is probably the best A.I. I've ever read about, he's just so evil and cruel.
It's hard to say who has it worse. The twisted wretch that crawled out of the Amigara Fault is still mostly human in form, but his mind is almost certainly gone. Ted's body no longer resembles a human, but his mind remains the same as it always has been. Personally, I feel Ted has it worse, as he can comprehend what he has become. Artist's Notes: What would happen if the DRR DRR DRR guy from The Legend of Amigara Fault and Ted from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream were to meet? Probably nothing of consequence, but I bet Ted would be really jealous of that big gaping mouth. :| I was totally going to do something else for my 300th deviation, yet somehow this came out instead. Go figure!
