Hidden Origins

by CMReber


Frantic thoughts tumble through my brain, fast and spinning.

The old letter, creased and torn, trembles in my hands. Dark ink smudges across the pages, scars from long years in hiding. The terrible truth of the words there confuses me. Haunts me. Tears at me with its ugly claws. Fear and fury burst to life in my chest. I want to scream: primal, anguished, angry.

Who am I really then?
