Hale

I would die without him.

Because he infects me.

My brother.

He’s inside my mind.

My thoughts are black and bruised.

Twisted and wrong.

A secret that eats me alive, but one I’ll take to my grave.

And then it happens.

He sees inside me.

Understands the darkness.

Loves what he finds.

I’m contagious.

It’s true.

Now, he’s sick too.
