Waking up to my sin
Sally Blue bloodthirsty betty
The water was a freezing, ink-black void that threatened to pull the heat from my marrow in seconds. Above us, the island was screaming—the structural groans of a multi-million dollar fortress collapsing under the intense, chemical heat of the phosphorus. White smoke, thick and toxic, billowed out of the cliffside vents, looking like ghostly fingers reaching for the moon. We were floating in the graveyard of our sanctuary, two specks of life in a sea of burning debris.
