The Incident
It’s deathly cold.
The walls are blank
The air is so thick that you could take a
blade to it as you would a cake and serve it
to people at a birthday.
But of course, I have no birthday.
I don’t know how I was born,
or where I was born.
The prophecy told my family that I would arrive.
It told them I would raise chaos and destruction on them.
Of course no one believed it until..well..
“The incident”
After that they forced me to be isolated from the world.
I retreat back everyday into attic I once called my mind.
This isolation..
It’s solemn.
I fell weak, I cannot stand.
I’m pale.
They tell me I am sick.
I am not sick.
I am cold.
