“I—and you—now understood: We were brought into this world out of nothing.
I—and you—now understood: We were kept alive in some form, any form, as long as we were viciously thrashing about, acting out our most intensely vital impulses, never allowed to become still and silent until every drop had been drained of the blackness flowing inside us.
I—and you—now understood: We would be pulled back into the flowing blackness only when we had done all the damage we were allowed to do, only when our work was done. The work of you against me…and me against you.”
― Thomas Ligotti, My Work is Not Yet Done: Three Tales of Corporate Horror
