- it makes me happy.
- the voices tell me to.
- other voices tell me not to.
- it’s what I know.
- it’s everything unknown.
- it’s who I am.
- it’s everything I’m not.
- it’s escape.
- I want to leave something behind.
- there are too many stories to tell.
- there are too many secrets to share.
- there are too many zombies at the window.
- it keeps me company.
- it saves me from reality.
- it brings me closer to the real world.
- the machine is already primed.
- everything’s already been written.
- it might be better if I write again.
- it’s the best of me.
- it’s the worst of me.
- it’s the greatest freedom I know.
