#afflicted chapter 2

Chapter 2: Ruins

Chapter 2 is finally ready.

Many, MANY thanks to my friend @redreart for once again creating the most beautiful chapter art a girl could dream of! Your support and your talent are literal life savers. I love you!

And to @hotmessteaparty, thank you SO MUCH for beta reading, you always manage to blow me away with the amount of work you do. Thank you for the endless hours spent on helping me hash out the things in my brain. I love you 💖💖💖 and am incredibly grateful.

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter! I have plenty more to go, these fics will be loooong, and chapter 3 is already fleshed out.

As I prep chapter 2 of Afflicted for posting, figured I'd share the song it's titled after, since it's become a thing for me. I'm getting so excited to share it, friends. Thank you all so much for being so patient with me. 🥰

Ruins that stand Fear what you don't understand Within these walls seek your truth Denounce the lies beneath this roof

Have I lost myself Have I lost my soul As I drift so far So far from home?

I close my eyes Now I can see Am I losing myself Or am I free?

Lost shame without care In your search for truth and what's really there Disregard of the past Disregard the shadow it casts

Have I lost myself Have I lost my soul As I drift so far So far from home?

I close my eyes Now I can see Am I losing myself Or am I free?

Have I lost myself Have I lost my soul As I drift so far So far from home?
