1.1.1.

Water drips from the ceiling, falling into the flooded floors of the prison I was in.

It was an elaborate labyrinth, with a route that was both complex yet simple.

The walls of the labyrinth were metallic, and they looked as though they would never rust.

The flooded floor of the labyrinth was hard to see. On the other hand, the ceiling was tall enough to hide itself, but pipes could be seen going through the walls in a random manner.

Clear water was leaking out of the pipes, slowly, but surely.

In the heart of this winding maze was a giant cage. It was big enough to house a mountain if someone wished.

Looking down, I saw blood. The labyrinth wasn't flooded by water, but rather by blood.

'It's black.'

Or at least, the blood was dark enough to look like ink.

'It's not ink, I know the smell of blood and what it feels like.

I was sitting on the floor, and the blood reached up to my elbows. I was submerged in blood, but that didn't bother me.

'Is this cage for me?'

I couldn't help but wonder. I was inside of the giant cage and while I could run at any time, I didn't.

'It's black.'

Or at least, the blood was dark enough to look like ink.

'It's not ink, I know the smell of blood and what it feels like.!

I was sitting on the floor, and the blood reached up to my elbows. I was submerged in blood, but that didn't bother me.

'Is this cage for me?'

I couldn't help but wonder. I was inside of the giant cage and while I could run at any time, I didn't.

Why should I escape? It's peaceful here.

"Heh."

Yes, covered in blood and inside a cage was more peaceful to me.

'Someone built this labyrinth to keep everyone away.

And the architect was no doubt me.

'I am inside my own mind.'

With my crimson eyes shining throughout the labyrinth like a pair of glowing rubies, I smiled.

It was a genuine smile, not the fake one I always wear.

"In here, and I am alone."

I feel at peace when I'm alone.

Of course, it wouldn't be reality if life wasn't cruel.
