She screams.

No, not her.

Another nameless prey.

A girl in the middle

of her teens.

Youth fresh in her years.

This one had a chance to leave.

Golden key to her 'freedom'.

Her life for her brothers' .

To trap him to his death.

She didn't.

She said her love for her

family forbid her.

What is this 'kindness' you speak of?

What is this 'love'?

Wasn't he saving this girl
from the world?

From its teeth that bite

And

Tear you apart?
Wasn't he offering the only true freedom ?

Wasn't he kind too?

They don't understand.

They never do.

He didn't mind.

Their last minutes are

The most honest ones

in their lives.

Fear, guilt, regret.

Oozing out of their faces,

Like pus from a corpse.

Like this girl's blood from

her slit throat.

He wondered if she could teach him,

These things

called love and care.

He wonder if he would

come to care for her.

And she for him?
