[Inferno World 01] • Verboten

The lights go out, bathing us in darkness. Only she and I reside here, on opposite sides, both craving the same thing.

I witnessed it in her eyes. I let it fester for years. I allowed myself to think I was different from them.

I was wrong.

I tried to resist.

I tried to be different.

But blood was thicker than water.

I didn’t just want her. I needed her.

I needed to own every single inch of her.

She crooked her finger, beckoning me, and I drifted to her like helpless sails in the wind.

A flicker inside me roared to life.

She’d woken the beast.

The flames burned bright, promising destruction to all those who obstructed our path.

Ashes to ashes.

Dust to dust.
