It is a skill not to lose one’s sense of self. If cats had thumbs, wouldn’t the world be a bit more terrifying? It all comes down to instinct. They domesticated out of survival, to have us serve them even if it meant putting on a facade. It also depends on whether one gets comfortable enough in such a deal. Then it becomes about power.

If death is true fulfillment, there’s a cycle. I’ve always thought Persephone out all the greek gods was underestimated in her ability to bring an inevitable transition from the bud of life into a wistful death. Makes immortality almost seem sad.


{ A prickle of a thought stirs within him. He wonders if the fear he’s held over slipping from his own normalcy has to do with how his perspective has shifted. There's a flash of a vivid memory — an open field they came across once a long while ago. A man rooted in a tree, becoming one with nature; flowers intricately and delicately placed upon his open wounds. It was death elevated to art. It brought disgust, or at least it should have. Part of him knew he had in a way accepted the open love letter even back then.

It’s nearly overwhelming once again. }


Far too many have pulled my strings. If I have to be honest, I'm not sure what I am without them.
