Secrets

They say walls talk.

I wish they would.

The lies uttered smother me.

I can't escape.

They say knowledge is power.

I wish I were powerful.

Maybe I could stop it.

End it, end it all.

They say it doesn't matter.

Everybody lies.

Everybody hides things.

Not things like this.

It is dangerous.

Those lies, those secrets.

They could crush others.

Like they crush me.

Tell us, they demand.

I wish I could.

But I can't.

He'd get me if I did.

I don't want to die.

I fear what's coming.

He's mad.

Because I am telling you.

Even if he doesn't,

I can't live like this.

My lungs are smashed.

My eyes blind.

But I'm not dead.

I wish I were.

It would make this easier.

I have to tell you, now.

I have to.

These lies, these secrets,

they have to come out.

He hurt me.

He hurt others.

Others like me.

He-he's coming!

He'll get me.

He's here!

Aaahhh!

He killed me.

The secrets are gone.

I'm safe.

She knows now.

You all know.
