@#**!Maniac@#***!!!

I came face to face with a basket case and yet stayed in place despite wanting to step back a pace. His eyes glowed with a blue as cold as ice and i did not move for fear of the price. I stood my ground not making a sound as he did the same not looking around only staring me down. So i spoke,comming to a choke and as silence was broke his lips mocked mine as to joke. No more i stated as i assesed and contemplaited, nor did he as he patiently waited. Deciding this was a test,one to be graded, i set to do my best or leave more jaded. (so i spoke yet again to my odd but familiar friend) I don't know what your problem might be as you stand there and stare. Trying to look so frightening, i hope you're aware that i am not scared. (His lips yet again repeated the god awful sin) He mocked sankronizingly every word i had said. I shouted,don't patronize me and don't try to get in my head! Yet once again,he mouthed what i had sang. I sprang with a blow that landed in a bang. I began to weep at what i discovered through my tears, for the blood of my knuckles covered a broken mirror.
