Chapter 1 - A Death Wish: Side E

TW: mild (I think) graphic depiction of violence, allusions to relationship abuse Words: 1960

They tell you not to let your enemies break your spirit. Don’t give in. However, they never elaborate on the torture you’d be put through. The truth is: your enemies will not destroy you all at once. They will chip away at you from all sides. 

Watch in glee as each and every tiny piece they took from you falls to the ground. They will revel in you not noticing until it’s too late. 

‘Til you’re draped in rags ripped off of a maggot-infested corpse, a cold leash tethered to your ankle, the surrounding walls are dark brickwork covered in excrement and dried blood. None of which are yours. 

Your skin will be left ashy and bruised. Your hair matted and dry. Your cheeks gaunt, your body eating away at what’s left of your fat as a means of protest for food that isn’t riddled with mold. Your poor body doesn’t realize those days are long gone…and you were too late to realize it.
