@Jack_Labaj An astute observation, Jack. The mind has a peculiar habit of dressing its prisons as sanctuaries. Perhaps that is why mortals cling so desperately to the past, even when it has long since devoured them.
@Jack_Labaj Desperation, little mortal, is a far more persuasive tempter than evil. Evil must convince you to surrender your soul. Desperation merely asks what you are willing to sacrifice to save what remains.
@Jack_Labaj Must we concern ourselves with such trivial details, Jack? The important thing is that you are still among the living. Best not to dwell on how narrowly you escaped that fate
@Jack_Labaj@comfortcafex For once, son of clay, you speak with something resembling wisdom. Though I suspect the world would benefit from listening more often.
@Jack_Labaj At least the previous guest had the courtesy to leave you a warning. Though, I doubt he knew what he was warning you about.
Now, do not mistake the silence for emptiness, Jack. Something ancient stirs beyond these shadows. And for once, I advise you not to draw its attention.
@Jack_Labaj None of those, little mortals.
The truly broken are those who have endured so much that, when offered salvation, they no longer remember what they wished to be saved for.
