"Talking to yourself is not a sign of insanity. Answering back is".
For the longest time, I had hid away from the world. Stepping back into the shadows; vanishing from the gaze
and spotlight of the public eye long enough to become a distant memory.Perhaps even a myth or an urban legend
of sorts. Where shock and disbelief had dissolved into acceptance. Where the sightings of a murder scene had become
a place of remembrance. The memories live on.
In my absence, I have engulfed myself in my own personal darkness; my own private hell, if you will ..where the confines of reality and the pleasures
of the surreal are sewn together seamlessly. It was in this makeshift workshop that I began to divulge myself into something far more ...enticing.
A contorted arm leftover from an alleyway struggle now stitched together to the gutted torso from a subway altercation.The petrified face of a
lifeless escort decorated with the eyes of an innocent bystander. Their flesh coated with dried blood lathered over their pale,porcelain
coloured flesh. A site ever so beautiful to behold.
Each piece, a work of art. Each addition, another piece of the puzzle slowly coming together In the silence of my workshop,
their dilated eyes watch closely from a distance. Always fixated from afar. Always watching me. Each and every one of them
...a constant reminder of the sins that I have committed in the world of darkness.
Yet, in my own twisted way, I like to think that each victim is still very much alive. And, soon enough...they will be.
