Torn Soul

Who is there? Hello?! I cannot see you - but I know you're there. Please, whoever you are, help me! There is so much pain, I cannot bear it, it feels like I am being torn asunder every moment of my existence. Countless dark shadows scurry around the houses, pulling and tearing at me. It is like I am at multiple places at once, and my very being wanes at the pressure.

Stranger, I beg of you, find the pieces missing from me! They are moving... at different places! End my torture by all that is holy!

Please, the voices...! There are too many of them!

This silence. I'd never thought it would be so exhilarating. Finally, after all these years of horror and agony, I feel the burden of my death being lifted off me. My eternal gratitude upon you, kindest of strangers!
