. . .

The world can do no more to me.

They have hurt me, They have punished me, They have crippled my mind and soul.

But now They have inflicted the ultimate indignity, the ultimate suffering.

And it has broken me.

Now, I am but a shadow of what I once was, a twisted mockery of the greatness that I once held in my grasp.

They have succeeded.

I am nothing before Them. I know. They know. I am nothing.

Well, that's quite enough of that.
