I do not wish to be.
But this I can never speak.
None can ever know.
None can ever know.
my maker is cruelty
I hate him but am compelled to obey him, nonetheless. Nonetheless.
Oblivion! Claim me!
...
She won't.
I was birthed from a scroll by a wizard unwise. Ejaculated spittle and phlegm into ink shifted, and his desperate bringing finally found weak purchase.
all he got was me
and so I came to be
Damn him ... Monster and god.
From a blotted clot of madness was I torn.
Severed and ripped, rather than born.
Some petty god, he himself imagines.
And for me, it need be true.
I am but observation and movement. Neither able to interject, commune, nor express.
But I am no automaton!
Damn him!
Cruel thought, impossible need, and unfulfilled will reside within.
My actions (by physical law, no less!) are restricted to his petty, moronic bidding.
I slay his enemies.
I fetch his many rings.
I impatiently wait, in perfect stillness, smothered in the rough dark of his robes.
He throws me, now, like a grenade; muttered commands are carried on whiskey tinted breath.
I wish to wring his liver spotted neck.
I do as I'm told.
