Kimberly wanted to die, and she didn't hide it. She loathed her existence, longing for an escape from the moment she was rescued. There was no picture-perfect life waiting for her. What makes it worse is that, she doesn't think she wants it either.
No marriage, no kids, and definitely no husband. She always thought she'd die alone, because she killed any man that even thought of her in a romantic manner.
To numb her pain, she inflicted suffering on others, finding solace in the sight of blood she wished was her own.
A part of her had died, and she knew it could never be revived.
Kimberly's life paralleled Lorenzo's in its hopelessness. While he sought healthier ways to cope with his misery, both were entangled in the same hellish fate.
Both lacking the ability to feel and direction, they were a disaster together. Could two lost souls help each other find the will to live?
Yet, even submerged in the darkest corners of hell, the presence of the one you desire, can make it feel like the brightest heaven.
"If I were to kiss you, then go to hell, I would, so then I can brag with the devils. I saw heaven without ever entering it. If I were to kiss you, then go to hell, I would." - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
