This is my last hour as a human. I know it in my heart but more than that - I can see it.

I look down at my blood-soaked hands and see through the layers of tissue. The skin, the muscle, the bone, my very marrow is mutating. The nuclei of my cells are shifting, bulging and transforming. Finally, I can shed my old skin and be born anew. Something greater. There remains but one more small step...

This hellish night shall come to an end as soon as I reach the tree and the Moon. My path has been long and winding but my journey is almost over.

London is done for. Perhaps even humanity is finished. We have struggled and laboured for thousands of years in abject misery all for this night. On this night, the cycle completes.

If anyone should hear this recording and shrink in horror at what I report, know that everything I did was in the name of a higher purpose. Most of you will not understand, how could you? Your vision is narrow. Your lives are so meagre. None of you know what true rebirth feels like. Even your dreams are tiny and pathetic. If you could see but a sliver of what I have seen this night, the ecstasy would drive cattle like you mad.

Understand, this night is for me. An end to the privation which my soul was forced to endure and the dawn of a new life. I earned this night and Fate has pronounced this victory mine.

I recall how this night began, the Doctor and her injection, but little else before that. All the better I forget my loathsome past. Yet still, I cannot rid myself of that beguiling voice.

"There now, relax, relax. Breathe deep...close your eyes...good. Now, rest. Rest and sleep. And forget."
