Another Iugulare writing...though this time it is directed to you, the reader. Enjoy Eye

----------------------------------------------------------------------



The darkness has come. It always does, it will always be. You cannot escape it. You cannot run from it.

And with the darkness, slumber often comes. There are few who can resist the urge to sleep.

What is it you dream of? Are your dreams pleasant? Are they nightmares?

Or are you living your nightmare at this moment?

Why do you continue this life?

I offer freedom.

Allow me to make life worthwhile.

Simply surrender your body to me, to the darkness.

I will give you everything you desire. Fortune, fame, power, respect, and love.

Why stay in this world of chaos, despair, and pain when you could have a free life all your own?

The hourglass has turned. Time is ticking away. Make your choice - the eternal dark slumber or your death?

This is brilliant - it sends

This is brilliant - it sends shivers up my spine! It also shows Iu as the evil, sneaky thing she is but also shows she's very persuasive... I wanted to give in >w<

All you have to do is enter

All you have to do is enter the matrix.... Eye


((Side note, I was talking to some 16 year olds who where saying how much they loved the movie "Inception". When I told them it sounds just like "The Matrix" they asked me what the matrix was. Much, much sadness Sad ))

Mhmm...although in Iugulare's

Mhmm...although in Iugulare's false reality, there are no Agent Smiths.

Although quite often you relive the same day over and over....for years...so you'd better hope it is a good day and not one where something terrible had happened.

Also Inception was good, I also really recommend Source Code if you get the chance Eye

Sadly enough, I probably

Sadly enough, I probably would too haha.

I'd pretty much be sitting at home watching reruns of TV shows and playing TEF in my false reality though X3

"Sleep? I do so rarely sleep.

"Sleep?
I do so rarely sleep. And when I do. it is in the daylight hours.

despite what I am. I cannot leap over fences to lull myself.
Even my own soothing, sleep inducing scent, does not bring rest to my tired eyes.

I've had many nightmares, so many, that I do not even fear them anymore.

Why want money when I have nothing to desire?
Why fame, when I have not earned it?
Why power when I wish not to command?
Why respect when I have already gained it?
Why love, when I know I am loved by so many?
To ask anymore would be selfish.

I do not fear death."

I love your writings<3
