Prologue:
I am the sin.
I am the hunted.
I am the monster.
I am the one who caused this mess.
I am the reason you have fear.
The reason you have pain.
The reason you starve.
The reason your children die.
I do not know how I live. But I do.
I do not know how you live. But you do.
I do not know why I do this. But I do.

"My name is Sin." My raspy voice echoed around into her ears. "V-Viola." She took my hand and froze, chilled to the bone. "You are here to help me? You believe that all things are not inherently evil? How childish." I kneeled to her height and felt her tremble.
"I will give you a ten second head start."
She ran as fast as her tiny feet would let her, I heard every step, I could smell her from a mile away.
One...
Two...
Three..
Four...

I did not care at all.
I did not think about it.
I did not bother with it.
Please, forgive me
