They say I am a queen.
They say I married a monster. That I did so willingly.
They say he cannot die, that he does not age. That together, we rule a ravaged world.
They say I used to be one of them, but now I am a traitor.
They say many things, all which I cannot remember, but ...
I fear what they say is true.
Then there is what they don't say, what I see in their eyes-
The king terrifies them. He cannot be stopped. And, most worrisome of all ...
He is coming for me.
