Here.

They’re everywhere. Standing, sitting. Those without legs are propped against walls. They gape at me with hollowed eyes, they bleed at me with haunted outstretched fingers.

Sometimes I need to scream at them but I can’t, because they’re not really there. There is my guilt, years of repression and nothing else.

Once I thought someone else saw them but he turned out to just be a crazy person.

I know if I can find a white light strong enough to bleach them I’ll be at peace, cleansed. But I'd question if that works anymore.

Great things are never forgotten.

    Interesting take on guilt. Makes you wonder just what caused it. Nice work :)
