Words


Arthur's word:
Devotion

The feelings for Arthur are strong, overpowering, and ritualistic, but carry the cold shame of predation. Deep below love, in some empty chasm where the floor is worn smooth from pacing.

The Man With The Painted Face's word:
Reverence

The experience of awe, of magnetism and terror; the way one should feel in the presence of something far beyond human. He is a series of concepts, a jagged collection of shape and color, more edible than touchable, and far off limits to myself. The evocation of being smothered to death by a squeezing force.

Lou's word:
Enamored

A beautiful man who would prefer to see me dead, and a yearning to fulfill that desire.
