He just sat there and gave her his most mischievous grin.
And then…
 They changed their faces, hats, positions of power.
In flooded the CONFUSION.
Stanleys, vampires, the dude that lives upstairs OR next door. Your neighbors, family, and friends all lie to you out of love and loyalty, and your own protection,
 “This shield is an extremely heavy burden to carry”, she said.
Ava Adelaide was not yet as jaded as one would have her believe (EVE, the first of the “fallen” women…) She believed in the Still of the Night and in the Power of Love.
And on the nights her head got the best of her, she wrote: MURDER. Or RED RUM, depending on her company.
 “An eye for an eye”. That’s just LIFE.
 Protection under HIS archangel Michael, she insisted she was finally home—in HELL.
 ‘Tis the year of our LORD, 2020 A.D., in fact! Year of beer, viruses, and bitches. Take that however you may.

Dying King?
Scorpion King?
Dying stars?

Patriarchy burning.
Politicians running scared.
