Why Suffer

I waited for it to act, to smite me down, it was the perfect opportunity. It never did, it just stood there, watching me recover. It was unlifelike, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but it didn't feel alive. I did hear a heartbeat, multiple as a matter of fact and even breaths, but something about it felt dead, surreal. It was then as I began to focus on it that its emotions resurfaced. The thoughts flooded my mind, rage, sadness, regret, pleasure and they came with voices, a legion of them. I was being fed emotions from countless beings, and it was taking its toll.
