Through the madness I shuffle. A wretched shell of the man I was when her love possessed me. Lucifer has given me one chance at redemption. I am compelled to drag myself to the dusty finish line. Compelled by the love I have somewhere in my drowning heart and by the curiosity of a new adventure that will, one day, surely kill me. This is the story of William Control.

The terror of eradication, the destruction of morality, the dying yells of the man I have become and here I've made my choice. My decision to fall head first into oblivion. Fuck redemption. Fuck Lucifer. Let the syringe and bottle be my guide. Drowning in my hate for the culture that surrounds me.

Here at the dusty finish line I stand, barely breathing and out of options. Possessed with rage and a violent streak so bloody that I disregard the imminent danger and go straight for the heart of those that took everything. An actor with a cold grin and a loaded gun, a new set of rules and the willingness to let go, ready to jump head first into the Ocean Misery, into the flames of my oblivion. Lucifer is there waiting. Let's see if he remembers my name.

As a writer I try and share with my reader what it is I have to offer, not what I have to sell. Unnecessarypoetry I hope touches your imagination in a way maybe it has not been before. After all,...
