Pain- A four letter word we aren't always strong enough to hear. It's the only thing stronger than hope and more hurtful than physical injury. When pain rages, even numbness can't calm it down.
It's the moment when you feel a pang in your chest and your heart drops to your stomach; like when the cab driver hits the brakes without warning or when you look into the eyes of someone you love and they look away.
Pain is ignoring that lump in your throat and trying to move on. Pain is when you feel a stab in your heart and instinctively check to see if you are bleeding on the outside.
Ashley McAllen is a teenage girl who is intimate with the word Pain. It is a four letter word that doesn't erase itself from the page, if you just ignore it. Nor did it write itself there for no reason. She learns from both, the bitter experience and happy moments, that Pain demands to be felt.

River
"I'm what you call a psychopath, ever since that day, I craved the feeling of hurting someone, up until I was fourteen, when it happened. Every time I hit someone, I craved more, until I saw blood, I wouldn't stop, keep doing it, until the person couldn't move, and I would watch, as the person became more helpless, and I wouldn't be able to stop the grin on my face, I would love every single second of it, and only after the trance, I would realize what a sick person I was, for loving the pain I gave, then I would cry, until my body shook and no more tears could come" I look into his grey eyes "And I'm scared, scared that one day I might lose myself to this other side of me, scared that I won't be able to pull out when I was in, that I would lose every emotion I have, I would lose my dad, my brother, my best friends" Tears brim my eyes "Scared that I might lose you" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kai Winters River Morales A demon meets his superior, It's not what anyone thinks, It's more, Will fear get in the way of everything, Or will understanding be the foundation of something to come?
