The weight of the world. The burden of existence. The futility of hope.
"I am the chains that bind you, little bird, and you will never escape."
The chains of guilt. The chains of shame. The chains of despair.
"I am the silence that engulfs you, little bird, and you will never be heard."
The silence of the forgotten. The silence of the damned. The silence of the dead.
The voice was now a whisper, a breath against my ear. "I am the end."
The end of all things. The end of hope. The end of the life.
"I am the nothing that awaits you, little bird, and you will never return."
The nothing of the void. The nothing of the abyss. The nothing of oblivion.
"I am the chains that bind you, little bird. I am the darkness that surrounds you, little bird. I am the silence that engulfs you, little bird. I am the end, little bird," the voice rasped. "I am the dark."

"It's all fun and games when the darkness stays in its crevice, but once it surrounds you, the real game begins."
