Death's Bloom

He's the most perfect man I've ever met, but something is... wrong. I don't see it at first. All I see is the gorgeous man with dark eyes and long hair and that unusual blue beard. The piercings and the tattoos, the beautiful smile. All I can focus on is the way he touches me, the sound of his voice in my ear, the perfect life he draws me into. I hide it from him at first. The fact that... I think I'm losing my mind. That I keep seeing something lurking in the corners of rooms, keep hearing a terrible voice mumbling in the dead of night, keep seeing white eyes watching me in the dark. Something is haunting me. Tormenting me. Trying to ruin this perfect life I now have with Theo, so I do my best to pretend that everything is fine. That I'm not terrified I'm losing my mind, or that a demon is stalking the halls every night trying to... get me. Until I can't pretend anymore. Until I realise... the monster in my nightmares and my perfect, loving boyfriend are not so different after all.
