The tabloid has an honorable tradition. As do the people behind them. What horror I can think to encounter is merely a glimpse of what is done on a regular basis. The impulse to begin with the eye must make it the accessway for the morbidly curious. I seek to know them as I have known others. The hero abandons faces at the moment of becoming the deliverer of justice. The erasure has no binding to anything except all ends. Words must be their destroyers and no longer just in simple measures of swords clanging. An erase of the eye is coming. Tell them to hold their memories visual for as long as possible, and that I am sorry. None of them shall see their last glory, their last knowledge. Braining them would be nothing but peace and I am no peacemaker. Every eye plucked I will wear as a symbol. None shall taste my becoming, none shall eat as they once did. For I come in waves and I come for no reason, and I find no vigor in life except to steal from thieves, and no man steals a soul from a moment of eternity. Let them break their pupils on my scapulae: do not eat, for the apple is poison.
