Pieces

Fear is natural.

But not for me. I was designed not to feel emotion. It kept me controlled. It made me a monster.

Until I got a taste of what I was missing.

Tortured and plagued by my bloody past, I can't let anyone in. They don't want to see the monster lurking inside. The darkness that gnaws at my mind, threatening to consume me.

But the past has a way of creeping in when you least expect.

When that happens, I find myself turning to the infuriating dragon I've sworn to keep at a distance. But as my secrets spill from the shadows, I don't know if I'm prepared to pay the price my confessions will demand.
