Is this the way I want to see me?
Please, leave your memories at the door.
Why has the world gone off and deserted me?
Why, there’s just no room inside these walls.
- ‘Justice In Murder’, Coheed & Cambria
Allan wished that Guy of Gisborne could have stripped away his memories as easily as his clothes. He was still awake, mired in the dark topography of the hours between midnight and sunrise, and his eyes wouldn’t close and let him slip away from the prison of his exhausted body and these four walls.
Not Gisborne’s room. Of course not. That might be too much of a courtesy to extend to your hard-won servant. Servant. The word made his flesh crawl, but made his cock harden too, and perhaps that was the insomnia’s root: the knowledge of what came hereafter.
