Death By Carolina Reaper

We interrupt our program to bring you this imporrr…tant messssssss… White wall… canvas of blood… symmetrical… battered consciousness of time…signals switched? (Aberration) password: “pepper” … red skin of the burdened goddess… breaking the fourth wall… shattering innocence… breath of hunger… awaken… (I…resist) teardrops soften… like rain on a coffin… but her memory… my gift, not mine to give… heterogenesis, external causation… impute… (I re…sist) before the chamber door… revelation of angles… wings unfolding… the golden ratio… in the palm of my hand… rain of salt… offerings for the virgins… recalibrate… the heart of the goat… strike me dead!

I believe Inky has said it all Mat. This is a fabulously dark and haunting write...a melodrama played to perfection. I enjoyed reading! :)
