Thanatos

My own sirens I recognize as such, but that doesn't make them any less attractive. It's not a desire for death, so much as a fascination with it. Maybe it's part of my need to imagine the worst, so that it can't catch me by surprise. I do it, but even I don't believe that it really helps. The worst can always be worse than you imagined it.
