Ellis
My mother called me a monster when I was fifteen. She wasn't wrong. She saw something she couldn't explain and decided she was done. I don't blame her. What I am is what I am. I built around it. There are rooms full of dangerous men who go quiet when I walk in. I did not get there by pretending to be something easier to love. I know things about you. Your schedule. Your habits. The long way you take home when the weather is good. You might call that an invasion. I call it due diligence. Someone should be watching. It might as well be me. I don't know what you saw when you looked at me. But I am not going to make it easy for you to leave. You were never as alone as you thought, Little bird. So maybe I am a monster, but I'm your monster, and that makes all the difference. — Ellis
