"Percy!"
Percy heard a voice calling to him from behind his closed eyelids.
"Percy wake up!"
Percy slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him he saw complete and utter horror.
He was in a poorly lit garage. He did not know where.
It was covered in blood from the ceiling to the ground.
Annabeth was lying in a pool of various fluids in front of him, with a scent of blood mixed with piss and shit softly present in the air.
"Percy! What the hell?!"
Percy didn't recognize the person in front of him calling to him. It didn't matter who it was anyway. Percy didn't give a flying shit.
Percy slowly rose to his feet before lunging at the mystery person.
"Percy get off me!"
The struggle didn't last long before Percy's grip crushed this person's windpipe.
Percy looked around the room.
He slowly pieced together what happened.
He had brought Annabeth here to finally silence her.
All she did was talk.
He couldn't take it anymore.
He had destroyed her, shit on her, and pissed on her.
Lover is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on August 23, 2019, through Republic Records. As the executive producer, Swift enlisted producers Jack Antonoff, Louis Bell, Frank Dukes and Joel Little for the album. Lover is primarily a pop, synth-pop, electropop and pop rock record with a retro style, encompassing diverse genres such as country, funk, dream pop, folk, rock and roll, R&B, bubblegum pop, pop punk and indie pop. Defined by Swift as "a love letter to love itself", Lover celebrates the full spectrum of love, using light and bright tones that depart from the dark nature of its predecessor, Reputation(2017). The album's music videos and art direction marked a change in Swift's visual appearance, which now embodies a summeraesthetic, consisting mostly of pastel colors.
Lover contains collaborations with Brendon Urie and The Chicks. It was preceded by three singles, all of which entered the top-ten of Billboard Hot 100: "Me!" and "You Need to Calm Down" peaked at number two, while the title track reached number 10. Breaking a string of records, all 18 tracks of Lover charted simultaneously on the Hot 100, including "The Man" which peaked at number 23 and later became the fourth single. Lover was praised by critics, who commended Swift's songwriting conveying emotional maturity and growth; however, a few critics found the album lengthy and sprawling.
