She had developed a self defense mechanism in her head to block out negative energy. Seeing she showed no remorse as she always did when they made her feel bad for doing absolutely nothing.

Trigger warning: self-harm When the elevator doors dinged open on the ground floor, Holly headed straight to the restrooms, relieved to find them empty. She dashed for the last cubicle, slammed the door shut, and pulled a fresh razor blade from the pack in her bag. She sat there awhile, listening to the deafening silence as she contemplated her choices and tried to resist her demons. But after her chaotic morning, the maddening urge proved to be much bigger than her. So, like the addict she was, she gave in, relishing the intense sensation of pure agony and pleasure flowing through her body as she slashed the delicate skin on her tummy over and over, stopping only when the door banged shut,

I continue to smash and destroy everything within reach, each crash and clatter echoing the turmoil in my mind. A framed picture of Graham and me, once a symbol of our partnership, now feels like a mockery. I grab it and throw it with all my might, watching as it shatters into fragments. The glass cuts my hand, but I barely feel it through the haze of rage and despair. The bookshelf is next. I yank books from the shelves, flinging them across the room.

I get up from the armchair, glancing at Vlad. “I'm going to look for more books.” Vlad nods in agreement. I enter the section of contemporary erotic novels, coming across an endless aisle of books with every theme that could exist. I pick up one named: My Hot Neighbor from the Gym.

Ever since that night, I had to scrub my skin off to get rid of the disgusting feeling on my chest. I sighed and took my watch off, only to look at another new cut that I had given to myself. If I did not relieve the pressure this way, the demons which are lurking behind me, they would have eaten me up. It might sound like an excuse, however, I had to do this to live. Otherwise, I would have died. Hurting myself is not some masochist fetish of mine, but it is the survival mechanism. I stopped thinking about these strange things and took a shower.

She had read it countless times, finding solace and strength in its ancient wisdom. The guard placed the book on the table, then, without a word, slowly, deliberately, tore out a page. Then another. And another. His movements were slow, almost ritualistic, designed to inflict maximum psychological pain. Amara watched, frozen, a silent scream building in her throat. This was her book.

My accomplice in self-destruction? ---

Though nothing confirmed he was with that model, Celina concluded he had moved on. That week she disciplined herself like never before. She woke early, made coffee, straightened up the apartment and then sat down to write—not only new texts but also scripts and reflections directly tied to her book’s themes.
