Gossip

Hello, my name is Gossip. I am nobody's friend. I pick and choose the people I feed. Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. My victims are helpless. I flourish at every level of society. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. No one can protect themselves against me. I can disguise my face. The more I am quoted the more I am believed. I topple government. I wreck marriages. I maim without killing. I break hearts. I ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious. I gather strength with age. I have no respect for justice. My name is Gossip.
