Latest / Shallow Nights: Scary Bedtime Stories / From Horror to Hope: A Tale of Unyielding Spirit and Radical Transformation
Transcript
- 0:24Hope. Hope is what I now know to be
- 0:27none but a necessary falsehood told to oneself in order to
- 0:32maximize their efficiency before their death.
- 0:36But what happens when you drain someone of all that hope?
- 0:39What happens to one who has had every single drop of hope sucked
- 0:43from them? On first glance it may seem like
- 0:48a form of a death, but without hope, something else is created.
- 0:52Potential. Potential for destruction.
- 0:56Or if you give power to 1. Without hope, they will destroy
- 1:00without hesitation. As you see, it is hope that is
- 1:04the destroyer. This is my story and my
- 1:09manifesto. I have found purpose, Slytherin.
- 1:14Beneath my skin is the poisonous, repulsive seeds of
- 1:17revenge, like maggots festering within the exposed flesh of what
- 1:22was thought to be dead but is now standing back up.
- 1:26Standing back up with a red tainted lust for pain.
- 1:31Well, I suppose if this is to tell my story, I should start
- 1:36from the beginning. My name was Elizabeth.
- 1:40I am currently 18 years old, and I've spent my entire life in a
- 1:44living hell. I grew up in a secluded home,
- 1:48seemingly in a rural area. How secluded is hard to tell
- 1:53since I was rarely allowed out of the house.
- 1:57Visitors will come over on occasion.
- 1:59I think I can count maybe 5 different people though.
- 2:03We'll get to them later on I suppose.
- 2:06I had no brothers, no sisters, just a mom and a dad.
- 2:11My dad was a sociopathic abuser from hell.
- 2:14I speak figuratively of course, but such wording does not even
- 2:18begin to convey the torture he put me through, almost as a sick
- 2:22joke. He didn't enter my life until I
- 2:25was 7 or so. By that point I was well
- 2:28adjusted. Happy little girl, not a care in
- 2:30the world. I'll never forget the first day
- 2:34my mother introduced me to him. I was extremely excited, I was
- 2:39finally going to have a father. We had a fireplace which as the
- 2:43night came we decided to light as we occasionally did.
- 2:48Father said I want to give you something to show you.
- 2:52I want to give you something to show that you're my daughter
- 2:55now. I walked over excited but
- 2:58confused as he was sticking something into the fire.
- 3:01He pulled it out and it was a makeshift brand.
- 3:05He told me to put my hand down on his lap and stuck it to the
- 3:09back of my hand as I screamed. And after that day, he continued
- 3:14to abuse me in every way you could possibly think of.
- 3:19Along with the standard beatings and verbal abuse, he would do
- 3:23more creative things. He would put bleach in my bath,
- 3:28put out cigarettes on my wrists, force me to slit my own wrists,
- 3:32or RIP my fingernails off an arbitrary number of times, as
- 3:36well as being made to take shots of gasoline.
- 3:40I'm not certain how much of that a normal person could take, but
- 3:44my body is anything but normal. Sometimes we'd take a trip.
- 3:49We'd go out into the woods and he'd tie me to a tree stump,
- 3:52usually water board me or something similar, and then
- 3:55leave me there overnight to be crawled on by bugs before coming
- 3:59back in the morning. And almost every single night
- 4:03he'd come into my room and wow, you can probably guess.
- 4:09Anyways, moving on from that imagery.
- 4:12My mother on the other hand, was the complete opposite.
- 4:15She was loving, caring and affectionate and always trying
- 4:18to comfort me. She would always tell me that we
- 4:21needed my dad. I never understood why.
- 4:25She was very vague and every time I asked her if he heard I'd
- 4:29be in trouble for something. So I stopped asking very
- 4:32quickly. She was always trying to keep me
- 4:35somewhat sane. She'd buy me movies, play video
- 4:38games with me, taught me how to play piano, how to read, and
- 4:43obviously, as you see me now, how to type on a computer,
- 4:47detached from the Internet, anything she could to make me
- 4:50happy. The only rule was that I never
- 4:53spoke I'll of my father. She was a picturesque, almost
- 4:58unrealistically perfect mother. When talking to me, she never so
- 5:03much as raised her voice, and yet she allowed me to be abused
- 5:06so horribly it made no sense to me.
- 5:11She was like a St. comfortably in the presence of a devil,
- 5:15except for one thing. Every day at 12:00 PM sharp,
- 5:19she'd bring out my lunch. A plate of still living worms.
- 5:25This also started when I was seven days after my father
- 5:28arrived. She would serve them with a
- 5:31smile, the same way most parents would try to get a child to eat
- 5:34their vegetables. She acted like these worms were
- 5:37just something I needed to eat and that they were good for me.
- 5:41If I dropped any on the floor, she would politely pick them
- 5:44back up and put them on the plate, even if they fell out of
- 5:48my mouth. Usually accompanied with a
- 5:50little giggle, acting like I was just a silly, clumsy girl and it
- 5:55was all normal. But I refused to eat it.
- 5:59She'd leave the room and my father would enter after only
- 6:03two weeks. With few exceptions so brought
- 6:05on by emotionally snapping, I never refused the worms.
- 6:10I just wanted my lunch to be between me and my mother.
- 6:14I wanted to learn to somehow like it, but it was just
- 6:17impossible. And the other thing I tried so
- 6:21hard to avoid was throwing up. If I threw up, my mother would
- 6:26leave again and my father would burst in and make me lick it up
- 6:30like I wasn't allowed to miss one single bite of those
- 6:32disgusting worms. To make matters worse, lunch
- 6:37quickly became the only meal I got.
- 6:40The only thing is, I never got sick.
- 6:44You'd think I'd be dead within a week being served living worms,
- 6:48but no I wasn't. That being said though, I didn't
- 6:53get sick. I felt something that to this
- 6:56day I don't know if it is how it should work.
- 7:00I felt the worms crawling in my stomach, crawling around, biting
- 7:03my insides. I would cry and cry non-stop.
- 7:07My mother would say I know it hurts but it will get better I
- 7:11promise. But it never did.
- 7:15Every time I felt like I was getting used to it, they'd
- 7:17increased the number of worms. They'd get bigger.
- 7:21By the time I was 17, I was being fed by the tub.
- 7:25But I'm getting far ahead of myself.
- 7:29I often felt bad for the worms. They were creatures too, after
- 7:33all. Before all this started, I had
- 7:35seen them in the now banned backyard.
- 7:38I'd always admired how they just went about their life, not
- 7:41bothering anyone. Life went on like this.
- 7:45I was homeschooled by my mother, of course, though sometimes my
- 7:49father would sit in with us and punish me for mistakes.
- 7:53In addition to the misery, my life had become cripplingly
- 7:56monotonous. The only variety in my life was
- 8:00what new games my mother would bring and what new torture
- 8:03methods would my father put me through.
- 8:06I mentioned in grand words before the nature of hope.
- 8:09At that time, I thought I felt hopeless.
- 8:12I felt hopeless that my mother would never leave this lunatic.
- 8:16I felt hopeless about my future as I had only learned of the
- 8:20outside world through stories. I felt hopeless that I would
- 8:24never get to stop eating worms and go back to the sweets of my
- 8:28younger years. But that was only the dawn of
- 8:32hopelessness. The few breakups from this
- 8:36monotony were occasional visits from family friends.
- 8:40Three were my father's friends who just came to assault me in a
- 8:43group, which should be a surprise to nobody at this
- 8:46point. The others were strange, the
- 8:49first another kid, a boy around my age to play games with, and a
- 8:55hypnotist. The kids name was Andy.
- 8:58The first time we met I had just turned 11.
- 9:01He was a fun, excitable boy and a fantastic playmate.
- 9:05He was a bit of an airhead in all honesty.
- 9:07In fact, I think he may have had some sort of memory issue.
- 9:11He often forgot the things we did in our previous time we met
- 9:14up and he was extremely unobservant.
- 9:17I was always having to remind him of things.
- 9:20That being said, he always remembered me and the things I
- 9:24enjoyed, which was, well, endearing to say the least,
- 9:29especially as we both got older. We even kissed a few times in
- 9:33our teens, which meant a lot to me.
- 9:36I guess young love always does. I never told him about my
- 9:42father. I was scared most of all that me
- 9:44telling him would result in him getting hurt.
- 9:47Thinking about it now, I miss him so much.
- 9:51I want to hear his voice so badly.
- 9:53He was so innocent, so sweet, so untainted by the hopelessness of
- 9:58my horrible life. Sometimes I would be too broken
- 10:02to speak when he came over, just in sheer shock, and he would be
- 10:07so patient and sweet, yet he never caught on that something
- 10:11was seriously, seriously wrong. I got to see him around once a
- 10:16week. I feel it helped keep me human
- 10:19for the time being, maybe a bit more so than it was intended to.
- 10:24As for the hypnotist, I have nothing to say about her.
- 10:27She'd come over once every two weeks, sit me down, wave
- 10:31something. I'd fall asleep, I'd wake up,
- 10:34she was gone. Her role is minimal and
- 10:36ultimately unimportant, but worth mentioning for the future.
- 10:41So that was my life. It continued in all of its
- 10:44horrific repetition for years upon years.
- 10:47I was constantly being pushed between full on insanity and
- 10:51some genuine moments of joy. My mother and Andy must have
- 10:56been the very greatest at cheering me up to have kept me
- 10:59from fully being broken for so long.
- 11:02But that was all until I did what I'm sure many of you are
- 11:06pondering the absence of. I attempted to run away, well at
- 11:11least in part, when I made my first and only real attempt.
- 11:16I was 17 around a year ago. The doors were always locked and
- 11:21required a key to open both to get in and out, and only my dad
- 11:25had the key. We had windows, but I found that
- 11:29they were seemingly bulletproof, though I had not attempted to
- 11:33break them that many times when I was 13 or so.
- 11:37I had attempted to break them before, not so much a full on
- 11:40plan to escape, but more out of frustration when I did so.
- 11:45Not only did I fail, but I received the worst punishment I
- 11:48had in my entire life, one too disturbing to burden you with.
- 11:54So I knew when I was truly going to attempt to escape.
- 11:57I wasn't going to mess around. Father seemingly did not expect
- 12:02it whatsoever. I hadn't even expressed interest
- 12:05in it. They thought my spirits were
- 12:07fully broken, but not yet. I had mentioned before how my
- 12:12father would take me on trips into the forest.
- 12:15I decided that when we got out there, I was going to do
- 12:18something drastic. He drove me there.
- 12:21In a normal car, I'd be placed in the passenger seat, typically
- 12:25being made to wear a dress with no pockets, as well as typically
- 12:29no sleeves to minimize the chance of me doing anything.
- 12:33I had managed to get some matches that were left out by
- 12:35accident after a particularly painful torture session and a
- 12:40balloon from a game I played with Andy which I managed to
- 12:43fill with some gasoline that was carelessly left when I was being
- 12:47forced to drink it. Bear in mind these took years to
- 12:50collect. When you have only one goal for
- 12:53your entire life, the things you can do are incredible.
- 12:58I made a bit of a bold decision and placed the balloon only very
- 13:02slightly filled in my mouth and I painfully wedged that match,
- 13:06which I had to break in half in between my right thumbs nail,
- 13:10keeping the red part just out of my nail.
- 13:12It was painful and slightly hard to conceal, but nothing compared
- 13:17to what I've been through. I had actually acquired several
- 13:21matches that once a while back and so I was able to experiment
- 13:25with lighting them. I found out that with these
- 13:28particular matches, if I wedge the front of the match in
- 13:31between one of my smaller fingernails and then squeezed it
- 13:35with another nail and pulled hard, it would light.
- 13:38It was not uncommon for me to go fully mute for hours on end,
- 13:41even days at a time. I had pretended to go mute for
- 13:44hours before I was taken to the woods.
- 13:47While they were so used to it he didn't even care.
- 13:51Clueless, I had a balloon in my mouth build to just the right
- 13:54size I could hide. As we approached his spot in the
- 13:59woods, I began to RIP and tear at my thumbnail yet again, not
- 14:03uncommon for me. I made vague noises and squirmed
- 14:07in place a bit to give the appearance of a panic attack.
- 14:11What I was really doing was ripping my thumbnail off and
- 14:14using some leverage against some objects in the car did so
- 14:18easily. Tears fell down my eyes as
- 14:21adrenaline ran through me so desensitized to myself harm.
- 14:26He didn't even pay notice as he got out of the car, bringing the
- 14:30keys with him to grab his rope as he did.
- 14:34I did my trick to like the match and it worked.
- 14:37I now held a lit match in my left hand and spat out the
- 14:40balloon into my right. I smashed it against the door
- 14:43and lit it on fire. To my amazement, it worked.
- 14:48Father ran over, thinking it was a suicide attempt, not realizing
- 14:52his door was now unlocked. He ran over to mine to open it
- 14:56and I made a dash, moving uncomfortably over to the
- 14:59driver's seat and ran outside. He was in the largest panic I'd
- 15:03ever seen him in. He was hesitant to run after me
- 15:06for fear of the car burning down.
- 15:08If it was destroyed, who knows what would happen.
- 15:12He ultimately opened the door and was able to put it out
- 15:15quickly. Not that I know how he did it as
- 15:18I wasn't looking back for even a second.
- 15:20My goal was to run as far and as fast as I could.
- 15:23It didn't take long for him to chase after me.
- 15:28I ran and ran and ran, crying, choking back screams.
- 15:32For a few glorious minutes, I thought I'd done it.
- 15:35I'd made it. Then I was tackled to the
- 15:38ground. He was right on top of me, venom
- 15:42in his words, punching me in the legs and grinding my face
- 15:45against the ground. After a few seconds of
- 15:48excruciating pain, I blacked out.
- 15:52Then began the last phase of my destruction of hope.
- 15:58I woke up in an unfamiliar place.
- 16:00It was almost like a dungeon, like a small cell, black
- 16:03concrete walls, no windows, just one metal door to few lamps
- 16:08around out of touch from me. I had a shackle around my neck,
- 16:12attached directly to the wall, a chain around 7 feet long.
- 16:17I woke up in silence for a few hours until the door opened.
- 16:23Both father and mother walked in and to my shock, her mother was
- 16:26crying. Despite always trying to comfort
- 16:29me, she never cried. She was always comforting, warm
- 16:33even when she knew I was in pain.
- 16:35Not necessarily a good thing as it came across as very
- 16:39dishonest, but it made this moment shocking.
- 16:42She cried. Liz, why did you do this?
- 16:46We were getting close, I didn't think we'd need to do it this
- 16:49way. I cried as well in pure shock.
- 16:53What are you talking about? What's going to happen?
- 16:56Please, can we go back to the house?
- 16:58I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. It's too late, Father said.
- 17:05He grabbed my mom by the arm and threw her to the ground and
- 17:09mounted on his back, he pulled out a large fire axe.
- 17:14I screamed louder than I ever had before.
- 17:18I knew what was going to happen. I begged.
- 17:22I pleaded, but he paid no mind. He began to hack at her body,
- 17:28chopping off limbs from her legs to her head with a morbid
- 17:32precision, keeping her alive as long as possible.
- 17:36And for the first time, my perfect mother berated me.
- 17:42All you had to do was stay, you useless bitch.
- 17:46As she took her last of breath. Her ability to speak through
- 17:50pain is rivaled only by mine, confusing me even more.
- 17:55I stared in disbelief. The woman who had spent her
- 17:58whole life keeping me sane dismembered in front of me.
- 18:03All I was left with now was my father.
- 18:06Hope had been destroyed. Well, almost.
- 18:11The only thought I had left resembling positivity was that
- 18:14someday I could meet Andy again. I formulated fantasies.
- 18:19Outlandish fantasies the FBI could bust in and save me, and I
- 18:24can live with him as he's the only person I know.
- 18:27He could somehow have found my location and let me out.
- 18:30Fantasies upon fantasies that I've constantly retreated to
- 18:34though I struggled hard to even suspend my disbelief for those
- 18:38obvious works of fiction. More and more as days pass, but
- 18:44these were the only thoughts I could retreat to as it was the
- 18:47only source of positivity I had that wasn't dismembered in front
- 18:51of me. His torture got even worse and
- 18:56the worms. The worms had elevated to an
- 18:59insane degree. Buckets upon buckets of worms I
- 19:03was forced to eat every day, yet I remained bone thin.
- 19:08I wasn't throwing up anymore, in fact I didn't even dislike it
- 19:12anymore. He would bring out the worms and
- 19:15I would feast with a vigor, eating, eating and eating.
- 19:19It was infinitely less painful than everything else, and at
- 19:23least it was some kind of sustenance, something I got to
- 19:27do, some sort of stimulus other than humiliation and agony.
- 19:32That feeling of them squirming in my stomach became the closest
- 19:35thing to pleasure I had outside of my fantasies.
- 19:39I had no water, I didn't defecate, I didn't gain weight,
- 19:43I didn't lose weight. I didn't feel hungry nor full
- 19:46after finishing, but in the moment of eating it, and for
- 19:51those minutes of squirming inside of my stomach, I felt
- 19:54something, anything. Then one day, a familiar face
- 20:00opened the door. The hypnotist.
- 20:03At this particular hour I'd gone mute again, laying on the ground
- 20:07with nothing to do. I looked up at her for a moment
- 20:11and as I did, she stepped forward and with only a snap of
- 20:14her fingers I was asleep. I woke up an unknowable period
- 20:18of time later and found something most questionable.
- 20:22A bunch of worms somehow attached together in the shape
- 20:25of a cylinder with a candle in the shape of the number 18 on
- 20:29the top of it lit. It took me a few minutes to
- 20:33realize what it was. It was a birthday cake,
- 20:36something I hadn't seen in 11 years, only made of worms.
- 20:41Father stepped in, clapping sarcastically.
- 20:44Happy birthday Elizabeth, you're an adult now.
- 20:49I didn't respond, feeling nothing but dread.
- 20:52He pushed the worms closer to me and removed the candle.
- 20:55Eat up. He said, some strange level of
- 20:58bitterness and excitement in his voice.
- 21:02I ate as I normally do, finishing it very quickly as it
- 21:06was so much less than he had been given me.
- 21:09Now it's time for your present. He said, stepping forward behind
- 21:14him. A man, hell if I know who,
- 21:17dragged a cart with various items on it towards me.
- 21:21They took the things off of the cart with me, now realizing it
- 21:25is a table with shackles attached.
- 21:28They detached the shackles from my neck and lifted me onto the
- 21:31table, strapping me down my neck, arms and legs strapped
- 21:36down entirely to the point I was fully immobile, and in addition,
- 21:41a piece I had no good view of was placed over my head, making
- 21:46it impossible for me to even slightly move it.
- 21:49Father then picked up one of the objects off of the ground.
- 21:53A drill, you know. You sure that beautiful face
- 21:56your mother had? He spouted halfway through,
- 22:00cackling in a monotone. I didn't say a word.
- 22:04Well now I'm going to give you a new face.
- 22:08He turned on the drill as I began to scream.
- 22:11I was used to, I was used to horrible torture, but he had
- 22:15always found some way to make things non permanent.
- 22:18This time he didn't care. He then began to drill into my
- 22:22face, my cheeks, my forehead, my nose, my chin.
- 22:27He tore me apart on occasion, spraying an anomalous gas on my
- 22:32face that I don't care to find the origin of.
- 22:36My mind went blank as my head was literally torn into.
- 22:41That was until I realized something.
- 22:44All of those fantasies, escaping, seeing Andy,
- 22:48everything. He was destroying it.
- 22:52A suspension of disbelief, A pathetic hope wasn't going to
- 22:56survive this. Assuming I survived this, Which
- 23:00knowing his ability to keep me alive all along, I figured
- 23:04somehow I would. I was to be hideous.
- 23:08It was something I didn't even realize I cared about, but I
- 23:11did. After what felt like hours, he
- 23:14was done. All I could see was my own blood
- 23:17and then felt bandages cover my head before being ripped off
- 23:20again. Hearing a light it doesn't
- 23:23matter mumbled beneath father's breath.
- 23:27I didn't fall unconscious. I hadn't from pain since being
- 23:31taken there. I laid there feeling so cold and
- 23:35dead. All the sudden I heard the drill
- 23:38start up again away from me. Then all of a sudden I felt a
- 23:42sharp pain where I didn't expect it, drilling inside of me
- 23:46seemingly indiscriminately. He had mutilated my genitals.
- 23:53I think the hypnotist found that my only remaining font thoughts
- 23:57were of Andy and so they well took away any hope of being with
- 24:03anyone. It seemed like such overkill,
- 24:06doesn't it? I knew he was perverted so I
- 24:08guess I wasn't surprised, but in actual reality I didn't believe
- 24:13I was ever escaping. I had accepted this as my fate,
- 24:17so why? Why did he feel the need to do
- 24:20this to me? Well, after I'd like to say
- 24:23maybe an hour or so. It's hard for me to say as I am
- 24:28highly detached from a sense of time.
- 24:30I went limp, fully, completely limp.
- 24:34I was not dead, I was not asleep, I was not unconscious, I
- 24:39was just limp. Father left the room, me still
- 24:43on the table, seemingly not even bothering to do anything to stop
- 24:47me from dying from the wounds he had just inflicted.
- 24:50But I think in his head, if I didn't survive, it was all
- 24:53futile anyways. I remain limp and unmoving in
- 24:58any way. My eyes were open.
- 25:00I stopped a blinking. I'm certain I should be dead,
- 25:04but I was awake. I wasn't eating the worms
- 25:06anymore. The next day he brought out the
- 25:09buckets. I didn't respond.
- 25:11I laid there and laid there. He smacked me around, took an
- 25:16ice pick to my ribs, checked my pulse.
- 25:19I was alive, but I did not move. You see, when you remove all
- 25:24hope, any hope, you become nothing.
- 25:28Many times in your life you will find that you feel no hope, but
- 25:32this is incorrect the majority of the time.
- 25:36You do have some, some buried deep in your most obscured
- 25:39subconscious. No matter where you are, there
- 25:43is some hope, some even if irrational hope within you.
- 25:49But not me. I was gone, No hope left.
- 25:54Even my furthest fantasies had died.
- 25:56I laid limp, wondering why I would not die, why I wouldn't
- 26:00fall asleep, why nothing was happening.
- 26:04All the sudden, I saw something move in front of me.
- 26:07I didn't move at all, not even my eyes.
- 26:10But I saw none other than ATV being drawn before me.
- 26:14And what began playing almost seemed pointless.
- 26:18Holocaust footage, as well as reenactments, snuff films,
- 26:22videos of girls being raped, violent statistics from places
- 26:25around the World, News stories. I didn't know why it was
- 26:29happening, and I didn't care. A long time passed when I heard
- 26:34a voice. A voice in my head.
- 26:37Curiously, I'd never heard this before.
- 26:40You'd think with the isolation and insanity I experienced, that
- 26:44would have happened years ago, but it never had.
- 26:48Now, however, I heard a voice in my head that was not my own.
- 26:53Elizabeth. The voice called.
- 26:55I made no mental or verbal response.
- 26:59The time is now, Elizabeth. I'm here to set you free.
- 27:03It is time. It is time.
- 27:06It is time. I am you and you are me.
- 27:10Move, Elizabeth. Move.
- 27:12Stand up. Eat the worms.
- 27:15Eat the worms. Eat yourself.
- 27:17Eat the land. Eat your God.
- 27:19You are a monster. You are a creature.
- 27:22Get up. Stand up, Break the chains.
- 27:25It is time. Revenge, Elizabeth.
- 27:28Revenge, Elizabeth. It pounded in my head.
- 27:33The voice went from one voice to a chorus of voices, from dozens,
- 27:37the hundreds to thousands of voices.
- 27:40So then I listened. I moved a muscle for the first
- 27:44time since my disfigurement, and the shackles shattered in a
- 27:48second. I limped over to the worms.
- 27:50All dead now. I unhinged my jaw and swallowed
- 27:53it all as if it were something I always knew how to do. 3 buckets
- 27:58gone in seconds. I saw the door open and standing
- 28:03before me was my father. My God.
- 28:06He gasped, A terrified grin on his face.
- 28:10My daughter, What did it, yo? It began to continue the moment
- 28:15I heard him call me his daughter.
- 28:16I snapped beyond any reasonable measure.
- 28:20I felt the worms pulse through my veins as out of pure
- 28:23instincts, my arms stretched out further and further and further.
- 28:27My skin stretched thin, as if I was not gaining any additional
- 28:31skin or muscle, but instead it was being stretched like rubber.
- 28:35And as my arms got thinner and thinner and longer and longer, I
- 28:40saw the unnatural shapes of worms, thousands of worms
- 28:43squirming around as it stretched out.
- 28:47I grabbed his face and ripped it open clean in half.
- 28:52My arms turn to normal, still with the beating feeling of
- 28:55worms moving around under my skin, a feeling that turned from
- 28:59shock to discomfort to a sheer, sheer sheer sheer, sheer
- 29:05unbelievable feeling of power. I walked over to the dead body
- 29:11of my abuser, thinking about what to do.
- 29:14For a second I shuddered, realizing I missed my
- 29:17opportunity to torture him back. But then it hit me.
- 29:23Those movies, they showed me the Holocaust, those statistics,
- 29:27people being tortured, all of it.
- 29:30I'm not alone, am I? This world is full of people
- 29:33like my father, abusers who take pleasure in the harm of others.
- 29:39This world is full of people like mother, people who claim to
- 29:42have your best interests in mind.
- 29:44You turn a blind eye to your suffering.
- 29:48After coming to this realization, my mind still
- 29:51racing, I took a step out of the door for the first time.
- 29:56And that's when I saw him. Andy, in pieces, pinned to the
- 30:01wall. This world is full of people
- 30:05like Andy, blissful innocence waiting to be killed by the
- 30:09predators. And this world is full of people
- 30:13like Elizabeth, victims that are harmed with no hope to live.
- 30:18Hope is a lie we tell ourselves, A lie so strong I had to be
- 30:22disfigured to realize it was false.
- 30:26It was then I noticed worms spilling from my abuser's head,
- 30:31spilling all around in the hundreds.
- 30:34The worms, they are what humanity should be.
- 30:38They prey on none. They live, they die.
- 30:42I'm to turn the world to worms. Worms do not have hope.
- 30:46Worms do not need it. They do not aspire, and so they
- 30:50do not destroy. I am to be the hawk, the
- 30:53predator. I shall force you underground.
- 30:56I shall force you to cooperate. I shall turn this world to my
- 30:59victims, equally and indiscriminately.
- 31:03I have not become what I hated. I've come to eradicate all that
- 31:07I hated. Tonight, I March on the world of
- 31:11the unknowing. I will find out where I am in
- 31:14the world. I will find the most populated
- 31:17locations. I will find the leaders of this
- 31:19world. I shall turn them to worms.
- 31:23I shall RIP them open and let my creatures myself fester where
- 31:27they stood. Let these be your last days of
- 31:32hope. The last hope you have left is
- 31:34that I can be killed. And we'll see about that.
- 31:38It is time to end the reign of man.
- 31:41And now know why my mother fed me worms.
