The Mello Story

Fear; is like a crippling disease that slowly destroys its victims from the inside out. And it controls ninety percent of the human population. It spreads like the plague, being used as a means of control and power. Take a look at any religion in existence for example; because they fear eternal damnation, the followers will change their whole lives just to please something or someone. Is our life really that pitiful? Must we stumble upon our own fear and never reach the top of the mountain? But I guess I don’t really have any room to talk, because like you, I am a prisoner of my own fear. The shackles of oppression have dug so deep into the flesh of my arms that you can feel my heartbeat, steady in the cold metal. Pulsating as one, for my fear lies within my heart. Because of this fear I cannot trust a soul, not even my own. I can hardly trust myself to use my birth-given name within these pages; therefore I will be called “Mello”. I hope that these pages will guide you, help you realize your fears, and overcome them. Hopefully you will learn the first time, and not end up like I did. ~Your Guide “Mello”
