6. Break Away

I'm straining.

Who said these chains could hold me prisoner for long?

I'm strong enough to break them… right?

My self-doubt chuckles, speaks up with a whisper.

You really think you can get away this time?

Of course I do! I'm the fastest thing alive!

Yes, physically. But in your inner sanctum…

Please, me. Not this again.

There is no denial, my pet. Your face says it all.

I struggle more, my wrists chafing, muscles aching for release.

I know you. I am you. Your soul is mine, your heart is mine.

It takes everything I have not to scream into the darkness.

How long will it take you to believe me?

My breath hitches, I cough, a drop of blood.

How long will it take you to cease fighting me?

My body screams for deliverance. I scream too.

There is nothing you can do… except to die.

The chains snap. Broken metal flies everywhere.

I curl around myself and weep.
