Gunpowder laughed. It was all he could do. Dorsen was not nearly as amused. He took up his claw, about to stab Gunpowder in the chest. A fitting end, considering Gunpowder's first kill recently. A chill ran down his spine, but it felt.. different. It was not caused by the thought of imminent death. Something else was there. Dorsen clearly felt it too, since he was frantically looking around. The room seemed to get colder, too.

“Who's there?! Wait.. You're-”

Before Dorsen could utter the name, a dark black spike shot through his chest. It reminded Gunpowder more of what he had done. It was not Dorsen's doing, but even still, it felt like he was further torturing him.

The cave turned dark, but not as if the light had been cut off.. Gunpowder could still clearly see himself and Dorsen's impaled body in front of him. It felt like purgatory. It was so cold, so empty... like the absence of emotion. So much so, in fact, that Gunpowder felt nothing at the sight of seeing his brother dying in front of him.

The darkness began to recede from the walls and shift to Dorsen. It was enveloping him. He was completely surrounded, with no escape. The shroud began to move downwards, through the floor. It was like a knife through butter, it moved so seamlessly, and yet so slowly. Dorsen's last word was just “Fin,” which he spoke just before his head was submerged in the rocky ground.

Near where Dorsen had been pulled under was a crack in the ground. Something had begun to ooze out of it, slowly. At first Gunpowder thought it was that darkness seeping out, but he realized soon that it was blood. It filled him with dread. Was he next? Why was someone doing this? Where had it come from?

The room began to fill with that same darkness again, with the origin being that same crack in the floor. Soon Gunpowder was completely surrounded. Against what he thought was the far wall was what appeared to be eyes. They were flickering, shining. They were getting closer. Below them a large mouth formed. It had immense teeth, and they were sharp. Gunpowder couldn't move, couldn't blink, couldn't even think. It felt like he was going to be crushed. He thought it was the end. He thought he would die at the hands of that beast. Or mouth, as it were. He finally managed to close his eyes to think of Anana, just one last time.

If gunpowder is a girl, why is she refering to herself as a he?

His Biological sex is female, but his gender is male and that's why he identifies as male. Ever heard of transgender?

I love the use of "Fin" here, its good and metaphorical. It also makes us think. "Fin" could have been Dorsen final word as he came to turn with his own mortality and doom in some final poetical enlightenment, that while so short has some kind of finality and ominous end to it. Then again "Fin" could have been Dorsen's final word, yet left unfinished. Mayhaps as he was so desperate to be delivered away from death's icy grip that he called out to his brother.../sister for help. Had he had enough time, "Fin" might have become "Finnegan". Either way, or at least because of the entire somber uncertainty of it all, it is a wonderful title and conclusion at the same time. A good beginning and end.
