Whilte silk on whiter skin
What drives that boy to heroine?
Cold dark nights spent alone
His anger the centre of a cyclone

City of lights, a sanctuary
The money they give, a necessity
Morose, skin of filth
Hand not seen, touch not felt
Only the neddle, and the tightening of the belt

Something pulls at his consciousness, however...something very familiar. Slowly, he closes the journal and rises. He is ready...it is time. He grabs his favorite smoking jacket and walks to the entrance to his caverns.
