There was truly no place for me by their sides.Then I’m kidnapped and experimented on by a mad scientist and it all changes. I’m no longer who I was, my body changed at a biological level.I don’t know what I am anymore.I’m broken, shattered into a million pieces and haphazardly glued together by their desire to keep me safe. It should make me feel good, but all it does it make me feel even more fragile, like the next time they break me it will be for good this time. less
