Belfries and All That


I occupy the bastard's head on occasion. Unfulfillable ideals and all that. I sit on his chest like a weight and I laugh and I take his breath away and give him nocturnal emissions and all that.

It's my nature. Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly unfulfilled myself, I'll take over the body of a woman. Make her do regrettable things. Things she'll swear she doesn't remember.

It's the purpose I serve. Tormentor of men and women. Eater of passions. I live in your belfry. I occupy the highest point, swirling around it, squealing in subsonic song.
