Love - the oldest type of torture.
It started in the Garden of Eden,
It dwelled within our history
feeding on our human nature.
Love - it breaks, it hurts, it smashes
Heart and soul, body and mind
Until you’re nothing but piles
of blood stained wings.
Love - how I survived this torture?
Or am I still alive in spite of all?
I always ask how can it be that people

I can’t see him, but Glasses starts screaming at me. I can feel his spittle across my neck. It’s warm in the cold, and in a strange way welcome.
Someone wheels me toward the faucet. My first guess is Glasses, but the arms are wheeling me from the left. Glasses i...
She was running, running away but she know she could never escape she back in trap that she’ll die in. I watch her wake in the trap she cries out because she’s sick of the binding, the others laughing I feel pity on her soul. She’ll never get to live another life, her body trapped, mind free, soul stuck with me. The blood from her former self drips, drips, drips, onto the rusted floor her screams ...
I enter the room.
Involuntarily, of course. I have allowed my captor to snare me once more. You’d think I’d have learned by now, which holes to avoid, yet I still fall into them all the same.
The room is dark. Not the cozy, warm kind of darkness you feel just before succumbing to sleep, but the deadly kind. The kind that snatches you from you bed the moonlight, wiry fingers reaching out as they ...
Fools, thought Piper. He was sure his captors thought this would be the end of him. Perhaps the Duke of this manor thought it funny that Piper would die by rats.
