This is to my
little owl.
The things you have spoken to me, the thoughts, confessions, and reasoning are still held in my confidence.
I do not disclose them.
I am, however, going to reveal some things.
Brace yourself, I fear no reprisal.
I will lament a loss of communication.
When you were young (naive) you were taken in by (supposed) leaders.
You were entreated to their protection and their declarations of safety.
You were one of them.
Among them.
In a circle where everyone faced each other as equals.
What did it get you?
Betrayal.
Humans are proven to be more than capable of this on many occasion.
Some relish the opportunity.
Some live for it (re: sociopath).
But, what did they do to you?
They not only betrayed you, they violated you.
They tore down the best parts of you, sundered your mind and body, left you for dead.
I know of only this world where that is possible.
I do not doubt your claims.
I do not doubt the sincerity in your voice.
I may be a gullible ghost, but I am in no way incapable of empathy.
And I do honestly
feel for you.
What troubles me is a lack of trust.
I have shown you my true face, abashed and bare, for you to acknowledge me as not one of your tormentors. I did not ask to see your face (although you didn't hide your teeth, always bared) and did not see your face.
I have no accusations to throw at you.
I do have a question though:
Why not bring this to light?
Why not show the world how pathetic these 'heroes' are?
Why not stand firm on the pillar of villainy
with villains?
You stated your intentions. They are villainous. In certain circles, vigilantism.
Were it not for the glaring justice you seek, I would almost cast you aside and worry not; the authorities will get to you soon enough.
But, since your first communication, I have seen no proof. No evidence (except the scars) of what they did. I'm not discrediting them. I'm not discrediting you.
But these are SERIOUS claims. Very serious allegations.
It begs to reason that this is why you have not come forward.
Because it is all lies.
Are you a little snitch, little owl?
Do you desire my identity to reveal to the world?
Are you stockpiling information on me, my subordinates, my henchmen, for your own gain?
We will need to talk again.
We will need to meet again.
I did not ask for names before, I will this time.
I did not ask for proof, I will this time.
And you will show me your face.
By doing these things you
prove to me your sincerity.
Only on facts do we stand triumphant.
Good nite,
little owl,
Agent Wraith
p.s. That's right. I said it in labels. Real Life Super Zeroes.
