Black Adder

by Dayna N. Aston, Dayna Ward

I used to be an average everyday person. I was “the girl next door.” I could have been your sister, or maybe your cousin. My life was looking great. My boyfriend had proposed, and I had a brand new job. I was looking forward to the future. Why did it have to end? Why did it all have to end in a blaze of fire and metal? My life has changed…forever. Life now would be illusion. It would be an illusion given me by the will of a monster, a terrible abomination, a creature of the night. Without this illusion I would be nothing. I would be dead. The question is, should I die as that normal woman, with dignity, or should I accept the monster’s accursed offer? Should I accept and become like him?
