I wish I could say that I was afraid of you...
but after staring into the nothingness of the void beyond this life,
fear is just a drop of water in the ocean.
No, honey,
I've seen the face of evil and welcomed it into my home
with open arms.
I gave up what makes me human
without hesitation
in exchange for
a gift which quickly became a curse.
I cannot turn it off.
I see things that no human should.
I literally /feel/ them, and they drain me.
