Invictus

I don't like the shadows or the darkness that they hide though it's all I've ever known. Fear resides there--lurking and consuming what little is left of me. I'm intimate with my demons. I know their game, but I cannot master it. I've been running for a long time but there's only so far to go before they catch me and force me into a devious dance so dark that there'll be no turning back.And that's why I need him. That's why I came home. My brother's my salvation from this malevolence. He's taken inventory of my skeletons and knows how to calm the rage when it washes over me like a typhoon, drowning me in pain and regret. But August doesn't know the monster that I've become. I'm afraid of what he'll do if he finds out. He's my salvation and I refuse to lose him.Not because I got carried away.And certainly not to her.Because my older brother has plenty of demons too.And one of them is sleeping in his bed.
