Echoes in The Abyss

​My genesis was steeped in the Stygian valley—a landscape where shadows are sentient and death is the common currency. I clawed my way into the light, but the price was paid in grafts of scar tissue over a soul that refuses to forget.

I watched the muted son—an invisible cipher, burdened with ghosts and a brother's anchor. He was an empty chalice until a piece of him simply unmade itself. The forest floor, a silent witness, drank the crimson sacrament as the scythe of the unseen enacted its grotesque baptism. His final impression was pressed into the dirt—a mask of earth. Does this profound, collective apathy truly offer the good man a dark conversion, a surrender to the void?

​

My personal pandemonium is a ceaseless, internal war. But the demons have won the siege, leaving me a petrified sentinel in the face of my own judgment. They are not merely memories; they are nocturnal specters—cold, grasping fingers that climb from the bedsheets to claim the breath I forfeited with my past choices. This is the usurious interest on a life ill-spent.

I beg for a divine erasure, a cosmic amnesty, from the God whose forgiveness is my only remaining myth. I am a sinking wreck, tethered to the phantom crew that boards me in the night. The self I inhabit is unbearable; stay with me only to witness my descent.

Approach at your peril. To cross my threshold is to guarantee your exit—my truth is a gravitational lie that pulls your sanity into its orbit. Unburdening my horrors would be an apocalyptic hemorrhage, a mess that will stain both time and conscience permanently. Follow my path and you will trace a labyrinth that ends in consummate loss. Closeness is merely the final distance we'll travel apart. You've already ingested the poison, and your escape is an illusion.
