DARK STORIES by Michelle Mackliff

The real horror story behind a woman that became the victim, the villain, the revenge and the hero of her own story...

EPISODE I - MANIFESTO MUSE

It all begins with pain, when my heart and body break in the thousand pieces.

I see how my perfect world or the one that I though it was perfect crumbled...

And these is nothing and nobody left... only fog, loneliness and absolute darkness...

Everybody shows their true colors,there is no hope only enemies increase...

EPISODE II - PERSEFONE´S WAY

Although I tried to recover, it was impossible, I had lost my strength, my sparkle, my light...

It did not count on the most ruthless and cruel version of humanity, I did not count on that for the most vile people it, is easier to attack the weakest...

I tried to face my detractors but it was not the time, to expect, I had to wait for them to fall by themselves...

However, I moved softly, I did not to do anything, I did not tell anyone, I was not a coward, I faced everything with dignity, I strenghtened myself alone and my opponent did not imagine what was going to happen...

EPISODE III - AVE FENIX MUST DIE

I wandered alone, desperate, searching for love, searching for understanding looking for answers, looking for peace, I did not find anything...

I only found hatred, selfishness misery, ignorance, rejection, evil; I wondered; did I became this? As a result I stopped believing in humanity...

In the midst of desolation I found myself with the faith, I realized that the only solution was to face everything to defend myself, to stand and fight...

I needed to believe in myself, to return to my essence, to my roots, I need to feel again. Die to reborn, kill to survive... start over...

EPISODE IV - NOTHING & NOBODY

I put everything in its place, simple; first, the garbage, then I tidied what still worked. I left all the scars in their place, I must see then so I don't forget, so I don't go back ever again...

And although I felt myself falling I preferred to fill myself with love, self-love, the real love... I believe in myself again, I restarted stronger than ever...

There is no guarantee that I will not fall again, the pain will come in a thousand ways and perhaps worse, but there is a guarantee that I learned, I am ready for this new opportunity and stronger and more alive than ever...
