A bartender's ledger of blood and philosophy, where justice is a blade he sharpens nightly. His mortifying past whispers through the cracks in the floorboards-was it fate or the first sin? Now, in the hush of poisoned glasses and raven whispers, he weighs souls on a scale only he can read. "Murderers," he muses, swirling the ice in his glass, "are such delightful conversationalists. Pity they always leave so soon."
Now, in the hush of poisoned glasses and raven feathers, he plays both judge and executioner. "Everyone deserves a fair trial," he chuckles, polishing a fresh glass, "and I always give them exactly what they deserve."
The raven knows what he won't admit: there are no scales. Just a man who mistook his own bloodstains for divine ink.
To the dead he mocks, for him suicide is something he can't adopt. The one living are the one to tell the tale, the time he swept and wept as nothing sustains. Made it so, so he can live, he endured and made it grim. For whoever fights with monster should see to it that he doesn't become a monster himself.
(A fractured mind's manifesto, where morality is a noose, and every execution is a prayer.)
(P.S.-The raven watches. The raven always watches.)
