Does Thresh's lantern ever get sick when being twirled around? Does it ever feel bloated with souls? Does it interact with its inmates? Does it ever get exasperated when no one clicks it to save themselves? Nope. Thresh's lantern just frigging wants souls.

"Unrequited: A Day in the Life of Thresh's Lantern"

(told in the style of a Petrarchan Sonnet)

Cling-clang cling-clang goes the chain

The ethereal spindle that rocks me, to and fro, to and fro,

As the specter glides over barren wastes, lost souls in tow

I seek only to breath in their pain

A hunger so deep; a need so great, nothing can restrain

When I glut their life's light into my haunting glow

This unholy purpose vouchsafed to me long, long ago

Lighting the path wrought by the insane

Relentless! Evil! Ghastly! Call me what you will

This malignancy has its worth, to ever make death knells toll

I would consume, consume all, even the specter, then might I fulfill?

Yet, as though I were cursed, with every swallowed soul

Each wisp of agony, the cries of torment, once fuel, now add to the chill

I am hollow, lighting a lie; a part of me cannot be made whole
