It has been so long since I’ve spoken to anyone but Death. So long since a human has greeted me with anything but screams of terror. The sound of a soul heavy with guilt. But not Arletta. She did not scream until I made her climax. As nervous as she may be by my monstrous stature, she is not afraid, not truly. And even so… Fear can turn to love. So I will tell her what I have never told another soul. I will tell her who I am.
