[ WP ] `` I 'm sorry , but you have to die now . ''

'There is a hole in my heart where the dark gets in. I could n't say how long it's been there, but I've known of it for as long as I can remember. It is a place of shadows; of secrets, and stillness, and silence. Of whispers, and watching. Of *commands. * 
 
'When the shadows say *do*, I do. 
 When the shadows say *act*, I act. 
 When the shadows say *run*... Well. 
 
'Do you understand? I know it must be hard. It's a strange thing to comprehend in the end, but of course - it's not my fault. How could it be? When a tanker overturns on the waves and the oil washes up on the shore, you do n't blame the sea, do you? No, no. The sea has no more a say in it than the body that harbours a cancer, or the dog with the worms in its guts. 
 
'Ah, but I'm babbling. Do you need something? Are you uncomfortable? Do n't worry, it wo n't be much longer now. I'm sorry it has to be like this but, well... 
 
'When the shadows say *kill*...'
