I don't own. All mistakes intentional for the new style. Reviews are love. Much love to Aish Sheva for reading this over for me.

A short vignette. Lelouch's geass!eye POV. / Gifts are curses, and they can drive you to break. Or, the geass is sentient. This is how it corrupts and eats you alive from the inside, and why the possessors have gone insane.

do you know who i am?

i am the MONSTER you are NEVER TOO OLD to be HAUNTED by,

i am the petrified INNER who SCREAMS allnightlong,

i am the sweet ELIXER of sheer TERROR that ADDICTS men and DEMONS,

i am the CHAINS that rattle in MEMORY of past buried SINS,

i am EVERYTHING you are that you NEVER WANT TO BE,

and you CANNOT IGNORE me.

you will never escape.

so scream –

scream

– SO SCREAM IN AGONIZING FEAROFTHEDARK OF YOUR MIND IN WHICH I RESIDE,

and remember why you dread me.

you cannot get rid of me.

i am your MASTER now.

AND YOU CANNOT DEFY ME.

(littlewhispers swirl sinuously around your mind and twineandtangleandtie like a drug or poison and breathes out commands into the corners of brains and they become slaves like i'll become a slave like you'll become a slave so fear for your life and run while you can or it'll get you too like it's gotten so many others and you might be infected right now, right now, rightnownownownow and there's nothing you can do.

you never know until it's too late.)
