Evil Offspring
Author: J N Williamson
 
Hellseed
Conceived of an unimaginable father, delivered of a 6,000 year old corpse, it defied the five senses.
SIGHT: It was insubstantial, miasmic . . . a glowing free-form yellow sun. Yet it had limitless energy and the power to change itself into any shape it desired.
SMELL: A nightmare creature from the remote past, it exuded a foul-smelling sweat even in the arctic depths of winter.
SOUND: It made whirring gasps, bone-breaking clicks and snaps; each ragged breath seemed to shake its entire, constantly changing form.
TOUCH: It was remote, indefinable, yet it encompassed more knowledge than all of mankind - and had none of the passion or compassion. It was a relic from an older civilisation, devoid of frivolous emotions. Its heart, if it had a heart, could not be touched by the piteous cries of its victims.
To know it was to TASTE the ultimate evil.
