RIP Karl 1991-2014
A handful of places; none of them ever to be seen again. Dozens of moments playing out for eternity in the depths of my mind. Never again; never end. Apocalypse hits me scores of times; die a little death each time. Resilience. Thanatos, it is not my time. Arafel repaired, only a frozen moment and a new repression left behind; ever after. The same forsaken rooms. Gone forever; horrid unchangeable sight looking out over multitudes of angles. Ani's loving hug; Sean's shadow above. Emily's comfort and Alex's hand. Utterly impotent to stave off yet another trauma. The merciless grasps of hired goons. Another motherly betrayal. Ullrich's cruel sneer. Gary's vengeance and Darlene's sorry you feel that way. The nurse smiles sadistically as I writhe beneath her on the floor. A hundred sleepless nights; the pangs of endless stargvation. Terror. A lost life, lost emotions; nought but a chattel slave. Everlasting all, cursed to live on in my shattered mind.
