This is not a love story in the traditional sense. It is a story of hunger, terror, obsession, and surrender. If any of these themes are harmful to your mental health or triggering, please proceed with caution-or not at all.
You have been warned.
The Monster: I am the darkness that stalks you, the whisper you hear in the dead of night, the monster that hides beneath your bed. You've always belonged to me. You can run, but I live for the chase. You can beg me to leave, but I know you crave the terror. The Haunted: I feel him-death-lurking at every corner. I'm trapped in his world. I don't recognize myself anymore, with him always by my side, whispering, watching, waiting for me to fall into his shadows. And I can't escape him. Not when I crave him.
To those who fell in love with their nightmares-
"You taste the sweetest when you tremble."
