Soul of Cinder
Magnificent!So easily crushed. I asked him to not wait too long, ... now it seems too soon.
I know it begins. My soon is now. It will end only after I have ended.
Oh, the other tortures, they were hard, but there was something of me that endured them, that hid from them, and resurfaced; finally the torture was withdrawn and I did still exist.
The nails too, finally, will be drawn out, drawn with a wet smack from lifeless limbs, but then there will be nothing left of me. Nothing other than
what they'll drag and heave with disgust into the flesh-pit.
I know it's over, but still I cling to whatever I have to hold on to... my nails.
I'm such a silly thing, I asked you, Sir, to be quick about it but now I'll beg for just a little time...
... don't pry the nails from my clinging hands just now.
Give me just that moment, a last tenderness, wrap your one hand around my clenched fist, and lay a finger lightly on that spot in my wrist where I know the spike must go, and wait that moment for my fingers to uncurl, and I'll pass the nail into your grip again.
Then, I'd pray for you to be quick, place it and strike hard.
And oh my Sister. Although you always said the opposite, in my heart I know I'm the weaker of us two. I need you so much to be near but please in this moment I would give all for you to be far away from this dreadful place. And I will give all, for nothing; all what I want and need, it's all for nothing now. So please be strong even though you went there first; when you see the last trembling shudder in me, then close your eyes and let go, but don't leave me alone here.
They make us into something dead while still alive, a certain species of ghost, as our feet never touch the ground; we see and hear, and are seen and heard, but we can touch nothing, though we can be touched. Howling spirits of pure pain.
-All right... You will have this moment... And I promise. It will be quick...
