To my dearest Marie, It is at this time, pressured as I am by forces beyond my control, that I can finally confess to you what I was far, far too cowardly to ever say before. I know that we parted on unfriendly terms, and I miss you more than perhaps words can express, or at the very least, more than my rather clumsy vocabulary will allow. My only regret is burdening you with the knowledge of my secret, a secret that may prove very troubling to you... Forgive me. There are monsters in this world, demons of an almost indescribably dark nature. It is unknown when they appeared, but we only discovered their existence very, very recently. They prey on all sentient living things, any creature that can give in to doubt, regret, jealousy... or fear. Once a demon has contacted a target, nothing can save that individual from certain possession and eventual death... or so we thought. Because you see, darling, even though the world today is bleak, a newly discovered threat holding a death sentence over all our heads -- there is hope. The children are the key. Well, they are not really children any more... But you know of them, I'm sure. I believe you saw me with one of them, a long time ago, and though that she was mine, and that was when you began to doubt me. But I digress. Some of these children have an innate power to withstand and combat the demons, others we have trained to do so. One thing is for certain, however -- they are the only beings on this earth who can kill our new predator. Using what meek control we can muster over the demons, we managed to trap them in one ghost city. There they now reside, and there, also... live the children. It is our hope that in time, the children will be able to defeat these monsters of insanity. Whether they are able to or not, however, is uncertain, and I am racked with guilt at the thought that we may be sending our society's highest evolved to their doom. This is my secret, darling. Sleep well. |
