Day 473 - How to Marry the Darkness pt. 5

I was confused at what I was doing. I was a concubine to my spirits. The fix was in no doubt. Soon I'd be dead. But not quite soon enough. I needed distraction.

I stood at the bookshelf-Hemingway, Jack London, Proust, Sax Rohmer, John Dos Passos, Robert Louis Stevenson, Max Schliemann, Time Squared and "The 48 Laws of Power," "The Yellow Claw", Sax Rohmer. In the corner of the room was a route iron stove. I took all the books from the shelf and one by one began to put them in.
