-- [Handle.. changing..] -- [empyayedMetamorphosis is now empyryedMetamorphosis!] -- Look deep inside yourself, you are a terror even to yourself. it takes a true /heir/ to summon the will to face reality in all its darkness. To stare straight into the abyss and do //what must be done.// The only thing that can unmake you is that which drove you to rise above in the first place out of spite. You keep that thing locked in the deepest cellars of your mind, so deep that you forget what it is. You keep it buried like a horrible secret. You feed it through the cracks om the floorboard out of a sickening sense, a sense of trying to find any reason for /why/ you went through that cruelty, just enough to constantly remind yourself about it. Yet it still comes to you in moments of weakness, unbidden, a source of shame, of panic. That you weren't strong enough to /stop/ what happened to you. This is a horrible allegory for... whatever is on the other end. A day will come when you will need to take a shotgun to that cellar, shoot whatever is down there in the head, and walk away, /never/ looking back. #violence #horror #abuse
