In My Way by LivingMyBestLove
19 parts Ongoing Mature
"Mad. Mad thoughts. Crazy, twisted, sinewy. Mad obsession. You sicken me. You're so beautiful, love. I grind you into a fine, soft powder and inhale you...and then lick you off of my fingers. You love, answer me. Your face brings me death every day...and every day I can't wait to die. Bury me now, love. Bury me now." I give full credit of my story to Regina Crosby. It is a work of fiction based on the film "Teenage Dirtbag" written and directed by Regina herself, based on true events from her life. It has inspired me in so many ways and it would be an honor to write from inside the characters' heads instead of seeing it on screen. Thank you Regina, for this amazing work of art.
