what would you give to be attractive? : a podcast that’s the devil #077

A moment pulls taut as a clockwork beastie cranks into presence, a sharp, piercing grinding that sets their teeth to electric edge. IT now exists before them, cloaked in abomination and terror, unbeatable, untenable, unknowable and unimaginable horror. The crew quakes, but 2 brave girls step forward. Through their fear, through their loss and humiliation, through their soul breaking failures, they stride forward, brave and little, 2 girls approach hand in hand, together.

‘we see you’
‘and we will love you’
:A TRICK:
‘a truth’
‘hard won’
‘and bravely pressed’
:ARROGANT COWS=MEANINGLESS WORDS TO BUY TIME FOR ANOTHER TRICK:
‘no trick’
‘we bring sight’
‘love’
‘real’
‘now’
:THERE IS NO REAL!!**!! THERE IS ONLY NOW**!!**HATE AND NOW!!++:
‘we give you love’
‘earned by no merit’
‘a thing bold and true’
‘a gift that can never be unmade’
:+++***///%%%::YOU ARE MONSTERS: FORCING YOURSELF UPON THE MOMENT::
‘we are real’
‘we are now’
‘and we see you’
‘will you accept an unearned thing?’
‘will you be seen for the monster you are?’
‘will you...be loved despite yourself’
:YOU WILL NOT TRICK ME!!!+++::
‘you cannot stop love’
‘only ignore it’
‘do not ignore this chance’

a small clicking, far and away begins to clank in the background. a greasy and smoky scent creeps forward from the murk of the moment.

::HOW????::::::LITTLE ONES:::?
Little hands reach out to horror as a waterfall of tears and regrets fall to the crimson and bloody floor.
