Kill Switch.

“Don’t let me go.”

It takes a special writer to make someone feel so deeply, but I could not have heard the sentence any clearer if the character had sprung from the page and spoken them out loud into my universe.

I know people wonder about the words painted on my wall. Why that simple sentence? Seems a bit odd.

But I don’t see just the sentence. I hear him speak it. I feel the anguish in his words. I am weighted by the desperation in him.

This may just be a book. This may be an unsettling book. This may be the last thing someone should long for.

But that is just the thing. He is a villain. He is the definition of a bad guy.

But hell if he wouldn’t burn down the world for her.

My body and soul screams for a love like that. I don’t want you to be a hero to the world, I want you to be willing to forsake all for me. I want nothing in the world to matter more than for me to never. let. go. I want that to be the mantra of your everyday step. That no matter what, you would burn down the world to make sure I am the one by your side. That we would walk hand in hand, taking on anything, all the while knowing we would never hesitate to sacrifice everything for the sake of each other.
