Deviation

Deviation

Protect. Obey. Sacrifice. These words are the mantra of my existence. I'm not sure if it's Titus Rogen inspiring my desire to go against what I am or my own DNA deviating. All I can think is how Titus will look when he meets his end. It trumps even my wish for freedom. In this moment, I want nothing more than to watch the life bleed from Titus's body. And I want it at my own hands.Titus. The Creator.I stare at my palms. Strength aside, I wonder if I'm capable of taking a life. A human life; one with a soul. And I wonder if that isn't easier than taking the life of an Imitation. At least humans have souls that live on. What do I have after this? Where will I go? Back into a syringe? Will Titus recycle me? Or will I be lost forever down a lab drain?We don't deserve that. We don't deserve him.Deserving and receiving are so very different here. And I am beginning to understand, to beat someone in this world, I'll have to play in it.
