He tries to give up all the things that make him 'him',
In an effort to find the cause
Of this burden,
This weight,
This anchor that holds him and keeps him still.
He feels that in giving up these things,
He is getting closer to the cause...closer to the source...
But he really is just taking away all the parts of the whole...

Strangely he feels that this purge has a hidden witness...
And there is a slight possibility that it is The Misery...

And if this is true and The Misey has returned...
Then...
Then he will have to realize that there is
No distance he can travel,
No speed at which he can race,
No shadow dark enough or deep enough to crouch within
Where It will not find him.
And this time It looks like It might be here to stay...

Already It is having him do things...

If this is true he needs to make a choice to change this course of his life
He can lie still and allow it to rule over the rest of his days
Or he can get up and fight for his place ...


But sadly...
Unknown to him...
He does not have the stamina nor the strategy nor the strength for victory...

...and defeat...

Defeat is just around the corner...

And the one thing that can save him is he one thing he will never do...


He will never call for help.
