Whether they spoke the truth no one could tell. Blindness covered their tongues. They were neither be found on this side of the red. Some claimed they had left. Others claimed they were still hiding in their basements. Still others claimed they had seen those melt like ice.
Their disappearance, the only certainty, revolved about their head. Drew crisscross lines on their feet. That's where their skin started to crack. The crack took turns - up their stomach, in through their chests and reached their forehead. All at once, you could see the glowing lava called blood, under their skins. The infinite tears of the body. The final vacuum.
The deconstruction of their last hopes. Identities were nor to be found on this side of their skins.
