more cheating has occurred =P

Soteriophobia (fear of dependance on others)

“An appetite for destruction,” your voice
breaks into my thoughts like a
cleaver at a butcher's shop.
Delightful. “These
emotions roil about us-” and here your hands
flow about you, to show the vastness of your
gravity.
How delicately I can(not) put this:
I wish to take your life. And not
just out of an academic interest to
know how
life looks as it leaves a body.
Mostly because of how your voice grates against my
nerves; “like shards of glass in a hurricane.”

On one hand, how you
persist in your attempts to con
quer me with blunt force. In the other, how I
respond by imagining
scenarios
that would allow me to
unbreak my promises. I have a
vested interest in
what e
xactly happens when
you finally snap. There is a starving bli
zzard running through your veins: entire galaxies to map.

Beautiul The expression is so accurate and fleshless, intelligence requires no extra gymnasium. ...entire galaxies to map...yes, we are sincerely the starving blizzards, searching the mental food to get ourselves alive a moment more. Nice.
