Abandoned on the steps of a brothel, I grew up not expecting much from human kind. I knew what my life would be and it wasn’t mine to control. No options, no opinions, no climax, and no freedom.

I feel a pull to the eyes I see gleaming in the darkness. The monsters. Every question I ask? They answer. I never believed I would find peace at all, especially among the teeth, claws, fur, and tentacles of those that call me theirs. I want to stay here forever. If the past doesn’t find me first…
