The past doesn't run.
It crawls.
Slowly. On its knees and hands.
Through rot, through mud, through the filth I thought I left behind.
I grabbed it by the hair and slit its throat.
I watched it bleed out between my fingers, certain it was finally over.
But just when I allowed myself to breathe,
it whispered a name.
A name I had buried in the deepest, blackest corner of myself.
And with that one word-
it delivered the final blow.
The last cruel slap across my face.
A shadow slipped back into my life.
Not to haunt me.
But to rewrite my future in blood-
and rip apart everything I built in the ruins of who I used to be.
