More to Say

What more could I possibly say about loneliness. About despair, anguish, and depression. Obsessed with my prison, the room only gets smaller. Light fades, and soon I will have nothing to write about, other than the cracks in the walls, and the smell...

To Die Alone

There are many ways of meeting death. We have become experts on the art of torturous murder. Science and technology have given us new reasons to experiment. But many of our current executioners are still in love with the Middle Ages.
