Lilancholy

Warning, this book was made to hurt. It is meant for mature audiences and is filled with mature themes and imagery. Reader discretion is advised. Sensitive topics include: abuse, trauma, violence, self harm, depression, anxiety, and pet death. She told me that Fairies want our humanity. They want to take it from us. All the little names that make us up. They do this by challenging us to games. Winner takes all. These are the games she showed me. When we would play them, she would say “I promise to keep you safe. I promise to protect you.” Then she would walk me through the rules. Sometimes she would hold my hand. “That part isn’t necessary,” She said. I promise to keep you safe. I promise to protect you. You can hold my hand if you need to. And remember…  It's not real. It's not real. It's not real. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a special book. An experiment of form. A marriage of fiction and play. The end product of the lyric game movement.
