Entry 8

Dear Diary,

As the night surrendered to the cold embrace of dawn, I found myself sitting alone amidst the silent woods, my bloodied knife clutched tightly in my hand. Before me lay the lifeless corpse of my victim, a testament to the darkness that lurks within me.

But as I watched, a macabre scene unfolded before my eyes-the once pristine flesh now a feast for the maggots that writhed and squirmed upon its surface. It was a grotesque display of nature's indifference, a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death.

And yet, amidst the decay and despair, I felt a strange sense of calm wash over me. For in that moment, I was at peace with the darkness that consumed me, a silent witness to the cycle of life and death that governs us all.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting its golden light upon the world below, I knew that the time had come to move on. The woods whispered their secrets to me, promising new victims and new horrors to satisfy my insatiable hunger.

And so I rose, my mind clear and my purpose renewed. For I am The Nightshade, a shadow in the night, a survivor in a world consumed by chaos. And as long as the darkness flows through my veins, I will continue to thrive in this dark and twisted world.
