Facing the Beast by Jackie Bluu - HTML preview

facing the beast

As far as I’m concerned, I was born alone.

So being a loner makes perfect sense.

See, loneliness is all I know—

loneliness is my familiar friend—

and loneliness is my comfort zone.

So when a stranger comes knocking,

threatening my best friend,

I’ll retreat, dig a deep, deep hole

and protect us both.

Because I’ve heard things about those horrible ‘others’:

the one named Love and the other, Vulnerability, among

others...

And let me just say, I want nothing to do with them.
