The Hollow Boy
June 14, 2013
I.
The boy was dead inside.
He had taken too much poison from the well.
Slowly, he was rotting inside.
II.
He was rotting inside, and he knew it.
His heart stopped beating.
His mind grew numb.
III.
Nothing could stop it.
The Rot, it spread like wildfire.
Only Death, could bring him solace.
IV.
I am the Rot.
I am Emptiness.
I am the Hollow Boy.
