This ink is now the blood I lack, These curves and lines, the words I hold. My only touch, this spidery track, A story that could not be told. Each letter is a silent plea, For you to simply think of me. Not as a fright, or cause for dread, But just a soul whose…

“We are the ridge. We are the stone that remembers the cold. The humans… they are a noise. They are interesting. They look at us, but they do not see us. They do not see the shape that is all of those things… The female-thing sees us. Her fear-sound changes. The thump-thump becomes a THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD.…
