He abandoned her before Death’s breath.

His pride did not hide,
Seven deadly sins, hollow,
She could not follow.

He was depraved #collector of sorts
selecting which organs to take
to his squalid lair. No mercy for his victims
One of his most heinous pleasures
was to shrivel brains to size of a walnut

The surgeon had endless flashbacks of when he'd eviscerated the specimen. In dark moments he was haunted by this unearthly being. He couldn't skirt around the truth, it was just too real.

The handyman repairs but also destroys. He shatters skulls with hammers, then hides the broken pieces under his floor. In his mind he sees no wrong and while he works he sings a song.

handyman shatters, repairs wrong your skull

i've always mistrusted my shadow. sneaking behind me, always there, always listening. i run but can't escape. at night it expands, its #amorphous presence smothering me. the only escape, in every new house, is fire

#collector selecting which organs to shrivel

abandoned griefling rots on park bench, scowling at the passing folk, he chooses which ones show emotion, shrivels organs out of spite, their screams he harvests for his lair, pinning them, still screaming, high
