Theory of Sin.
Sloth is such a pretty name... it describes her perfectly.
She's pretty and deadly, but calm and peaceful, unlike her siblings. She's smart and oh so compliant... I can see why He chose her while she was alive. The way she lays back, awaiting, submitting completely to whatever I deem necessary. Her eyes take a distant light and it no longer matters if it's me or him or Him or Us touching her, she just stays there... willing lamb to slaughter.
She flows like water, molding to the surface, uncaring of the rough ages, insensitive to the sharp corners. She covers everything and twists to fit the space, settling back with a sigh, unwilling to move unless the mould changes again.
She fits herself against my palm or his or His or Ours and waits to receive, greedily in her lazy contentment. Nothing matters, nothing causes even the smallest reaction in her. I or he or He or We touch her harshly or tenderly, if we are loving or hateful, she takes it all and remains impassive, unaware even, of the world spinning around her.
Her name is Sloth, a pretty name, a name I gave her... a name that proves I owe her.
She's a Sin... but like the rest, she is, before anything else, mine.
