Temptation is a Beast

“I was a good child. I did my homework, ate my vegetables, kissed my mother goodnight. I was patient. I was kind. But I’m starting to think that good things don’t actually come to those who wait. We behaved as well as we could for as long as we could. And now, it’s time to try something else. We came screaming into this world. How can we possibly leave it without a fight?”

“From the moment we’re born, we’re put into categories. We spend so much of our lives trying to define ourselves. But the truth is, there are only two categories: predator and prey. Once you choose which side you’re on, can you live with the consequences?”

“At the end of the day, all any of us wants is to feel good. And whether it’s a long, wet kiss on a dark night or a needle in the arm, it’ll gnaw at you until you give in, until you let yourself feel good again. And there is nothing else in the world that feels better than giving in to your inner monster. Every monter has their own version of an addiction. It’s written into our nature. We need the blood, the strength, the power. But the curse of those of us with darker urges is that when we let the cravings inside us take over, someone else pays the price. And when the monster sets sail for rock bottom, there’s no telling what destruction he’ll leave in his wake.”
