Taken By Temptation


There's an intangible outside force that consumes me.

It's dark, fierce, and rugged.

I become enveloped by it, wrapped in its jaws, as I aimlessly fall into its deep, boundless abyss. 

Lifeless and defeated, I lay alone in the depths of my own blundering solitude. 

Swiftly, an entity sweeps across my spiritless body.
