Anon asked: 😶 have you ever tortured somebody before? If you haven’t,let me give u some tips. -[redacted]
Uncomfy Questions [Accepting]
“Cease your prattling.” They bellowed ominously. “I have never gone out of my way to cause such torment, but let me take an idea proposed by certain human writers of fiction and explain it:
Tumblr media
“Imagine you are a tiny insect, crawling across a circuit board. A human invention, but you do not know what it is, what it means, nor if it is even important other than just metallic colours. Then suddenly, you learn what it does: it communicates millions of ideas a second across an invisible space to millions of more people in a second. Overwhelming is this knew knowledge and awareness. Then, as quickly as it came, this knowledge is lost to you. You forget it all but you remember that you knew.
“Such a state drives you to insanity. You had all the knowledge, forbidden and grand... you must have it again, it leaves you completely empty and broken to not have it... but you never will. No matter what you try, no matter how deep your call into the abyss, how desperate you claw at whatever entity will listen...
“I am entropy, yet I exist in form. I am nothing, but something, a paradox that should not be, yet here I am. I am barely comprehensible to any other creature than my own Kindred. This form is the only appeasement of the mind and reality so that your psyche may not be shattered in an instant.
“Not knowing your purpose and being blamed for being the embodiment of nothingness is akin to what I have described. I have existed through it, and was remade for it. I existed while you invented the ways you have such described in harsh detail.
“Cite not the ways of torturous existence, I witnessed their birth.”
