Who would bother to live if there were a choice?
The Lex Hypocrite who wrote the epic Destiny?
Mirror-Smith of Broken Laws; torchbearer in daylight
who see manacled reflections in shame-coated glass?

Mirror-Smith of Broken Laws; torchbearer in daylight

Wow, this is so powerful, Reena! I can see that ‘Mirror-Smith of Broken Laws’, that ‘torchbearer in daylight’ – he’s been gaslighting everyone since we first became aware of him – although there’s more than one of them, isn’t there?

Reena, this is devastating. The image of people seeing themselves through

I can’t stop thinking about it. This needs to be read by everyone who’s ever felt trapped by someone else’s lies.

Aren’t we all trapped by someone else’s lies- whatever code of conduct we are made to follow?
