Invictus

"Anybody who would get near her would turn into Icarus that came too close to the sun."

Those monsters conceal themselves behind a mask of normalcy and being good actors to the unsuspecting while hiding their alarming malevolence. The living sometimes possesses more power than the dead because the dead could never be as abhorrent as what the living could do to unwary souls.

Emily would have loved it if the world didn't have those kinds of people walking around as though the world was their oyster. But she couldn't wish for such a thing because she lives with those monsters. They would have smelled the defiance from her if she were to go against them and any signs of independence would result in having them nip that problem in the bud.

They're insane, should be put in a mental hospital or in prison, and they're the devils hiding under normal-looking people.

But Emily still loves her family.
