"Moira's Insanity" is a story of knowing and seeing, of dark and blindness, of love and madness. Told in various forms of poetry, Volume One, titled "Mania," gives manifestation to life, death, and of course, madness, all through the chronicles of Moira. Join her and the stars as she walks the thin line between rationality and emerald insanity...

The Society is the men. Far too many men, according to what they've told me. The School is the women. Far too few women, if I heard correctly. The Competitions is where the two come together. Annually, the Society holds the Competitions for men to try to win their wives. The women have no say in it; they're expected to go along without complaint. Only the strongest, the ones who actually win, are allowed to marry. The catch is, it's a fight to the death. You don't lose: you win or die. And I can tell you, I don't want to watch Society's men slaughter each other, begging for mercy. Because that's me. I'm Mercy.

Once I was a god. Worshiped. Revered. The huddled masses cast themselves at my feet, heads bowed and eyes wide. Save us, they begged. Spare us, they pleaded. And, fool that I was, I tried. Now I am nothing. Fallen. A bitter memory of an age long passed. A broken old fool too stubborn to die. This is my story. My rise, my fall. The pathetic mess, after. Read it. Don’t. I care little. My words are not for you.
