excerpt from The House Of Bachuss (Chapter 1: Take Me To Church) (c) 2018 “This is it. I’m done with you,” Narcissus father said with scorn. Narcissus just looked around the family room of the the Better Path Hospital, aka psych ward, at the walls. Just four white walls. So bland intentionally.

Always on the take when ever you can Gave me a reason to cry Had me lost in riddles of why Time kept going till there was no time anymore You blamed me I blamed you Yea we've played this game before All this shame is so clicheic Don't know if there was any truth in your words behind all the rhetoric.
