About Me

There is an unexplained evil that is borne out of betrayal, an inevitable cruelty that is laid upon by corruption, by anger, by the wretchedness of greed. There is an evil in this world that one cannot be protected from.                                                                                                                                                                                                      When you are born into the world, you are put up for corruption - you will fall, even by the hands of the people you deem most precious.                                                                                                                                                                                               So it starts out pretty simply. It's funny how perceptive humans can be once doubt floods over trust. A child would not understand why Mommy came home so late, why Father seemed to hate when she had to leave the room when her phone rings - ring, ring; he notices the eagerness of his own spouse to answer, he notices the guilt swimming in her dark brown eyes when she excuses herself, taking hurried steps away from the dining area. A child did not understand; how everything had brewed and spilled over - remnants of a dying marriage, hateful hisses and low thuds. It takes a year for an 8 year old marriage to up.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     It takes a promotion, a divorce and a dependency to alcohol to destroy a little girl. As a child, she trades building dreams to nursing bruises, because childlike innocence will only get you so far. She set fire to an empire of hopes. Kill all your darlings, they won't protect you from daddy's fists. And between hiding, crying and surviving, Lee Hyeri learns to take care of herself, the tears stop, but so does hope.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Hope is found once again by an 18 year old Lee Hyeri. She wears fading scars inflicted by the venom in Daddy's words and physical scars from the on too many nights of afather choosing to not be sober. Too young to be that jaded. Hope is retreaved from the ruins of the summer child that once existed, shared between moments of quiet, moments of Hyeri's apparent need for self-detonation, moments were fingers would naturally twine themselves together. Hope lasts for 1 year, it takes exactly 1 year for a dream to shatter. Somewhere in the middle of a busy intersection, a racing truck and the sound of his bones crushing and crumbling under pressure and impact, hope is lost. She hears time begin a countdown along with the number of beats his heart makes before it stops. Eventually it does. She stops trying altogether.
