Humanity

by: Shiryu


I don’t know if I’m human, now.

 

Sonya says otherwise, and I love her for that and more. She’s helped keep me grounded so much I’ve lost count. I don’t doubt her love, but I’m afraid she’ll die.

 

That I could be her murderer scares me shitless.

 

Khue’s worried, though she won’t show it. I can tell, though – her laughs are strained, her sarcasm darker.

 

I don’t like it.

 

And I don’t know how the two of them still stick by me.

 

Maybe it’s stupid, to fear myself. But the blood that night, I won’t forget.

 

I can never forget.
