On the other side of our Human World, there was a Monster World.

There was a young monster named Davi.  Davi was a lonely boy.  He had seven brothers, but he always stayed home alone.

Davi cried everyday.  He wanted to make friends.

Davi went to talk to his grandfather, who was the guard of the gate which connects Human World and Monster World.

Davi asked his grandfather, "I want to go to Human World.  I don't have any friends here.  Maybe I can make friends over there."

Gradfather said "No, it's too dangerous.  No one in Human World likes Monsters.  You won't make any friends there."

But Davi went "Nobody in Monster World likes me anyway.  I want to at least try making friends in Human World!"

Grandfather decided to allow Davi 3 days in Human World, and gave Davi 3 gold coins, and told him "These coins may help you when you are in trouble."

Davi thanked his grandfather, and went through the gate.

Davi walked through the dark...

Davi landed on the street.  He was amazed at the sun, the sky, the tall trees, and the houses!

Davi saw a college dormitory in which college girls were petting a cat.

Davi sneaked into the dormitory and talked to the cat. "Mr!" said Davi.  "How can I make friends with humans?"

" Meow! " answered Mr. Cat.  "I am not going to tell you because you are a Monster.  We don't like monsters.  But I see you have three gold coins in your pocket.  If you give me one coin, I'll answer your question."

Davi gave him one gold coin.  Then Mr. Cat went "Ok!  All I do is mew and purr at people's feet."

Davi said "Thank you, Mr. Cat!"

Davi approached the college girls, who were busy chattering with each other, and purred and mewed at their feet.  The college girls turned around, and...

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!  Monster!!!"  The college girls screamed in horror, and ran out of the building!

Davi was left alone in the dormitory.  He walked out on the street, and he cried and cried and cried all night long.

On the second day, Davi saw two young boys playing with a dog in a house.

Davi sneaked into the house, and talked to the Dog. "Mr!" said Davi.  "How can I make friends with Humans?"

" Arf!" answers Mr. Dog.  "I am not going to tell you because you are a monster.  We don't monsters.  But I see you have two gold coins in your pocket.  If you give me one coin, I'll be happy to answer your question."

So Davi gave him one coin.  Then Mr. Dog went "Okay!  All I do is bow-wow, and lick people's faces."  "Thank you, Mr. Dog!" said Davi.

Davi approached the two young boys, and suddenly licked their faces and BOW-WOWED!!

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!! MONSTER!!"  cried the two young boys.  They screamed in horror and ran out of the building!

Davi was left alone in the house.  He walked out on the street, and he cried and cried and cried all night long.

On the third day, Davi saw a huge house in which an old blind lady was feeding a small bird in a cage.

Davi sneaked into the house, and talked to the bird. "Mrs!" said Davi.  "How can I make friends with humans?"

"Chirp!" answered Mrs. Bird.  "I am not going to tell you because you are a Monster.  We don't Monsters.  But I see you have one gold coin in your pocket.  If you give me the coin, I'll be happy to answer your question."

So Davi gave her his last gold coin.  Then Mrs. Bird says "Okay!  All I do is chirp and sing a song!"

Davi started singing a song.  Then...

"Where does this come from?" the old blind lady approached Davi.  Davi was so happy.  "This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard,"said Old Blind Lady.

Then she touched Davi's face.  "Who are you? What is this?  Could this be a... AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Monster!!!!"  The Old Blind Lady screamed in horror, and fainted dead!

Davi was left alone once again.  He walked out on the street, and he cried and cried and cried all night long.

Davi went back to the gate.  He was very sad.  The trees, the sun, the sky didn't amaze Davi anymore.

Davi met his grandfather at the gate.  Grandfather went "Why are you crying?"  Then Davi answered "I tried really hard to make friends with humans, and asked Mr. Cat, Mr. Dog and Mrs. Bird for advise, and I followed their good advice, but nobody liked
 me.  Nobody cared about me anywhere.  I'll be alone for the rest of my life.  Nobody likes me!"

Then grandfather answered "It takes so much courage just to go to Human World.  And you were on your own Davi.  You are the most courageous Monster I have ever seen.  Everytime you cried, you learned to be stronger.  You don't need anyone else."

Davi listened to his grandfather.  "Now go home, Davi," said grandfather.

Davi walked back to his house, and opened the door, then...

Davi's seven brothers rushed to Davi, cheering "We've heard you were in Human World by yourself?!" "I wish I can be like you!"  "You are so brave!"

Davi finally smiled.  From that day on, Davi played with his brothers everyday, and lived happily ever after.

So Joel takes my condoms yesterday to make himself a literal dick head. I forgot, hit the gas station, came back tossed a big box of 12 in the glove compartment because obviously with my stamina and the fact i had pounded 2 red bulls at the gas station. i might had been up for at least half the box mind you not that they'd be filled with anything but cock from end to end but still they wear out after 20-40 mins good to switch so they don't break even the tinniest holes can cause some very significant shit. as i'm bout to turn into the street connecting to her place i get pulled over for my brights being on, get a warning cause well you make a cop half shit his pants laughing at your own stupidity they'll do that; the big ass box of mangums and the story of why i had to jump back to get them obviously didn't hurt. Get there turns out the radio silence i got 20minutes before heading out should had been my indication, that me not having called earlier in the day to scribble down times didn't sit to well. Once a brilliant man-whore, always to be, this life and next infinite loop after such. Of coarse i thought sweet words and honest intentions had smoothed out the cringing of this queens vEEga but not so much. Her mother/room mate living with her tells me she went over to a mutual friends bordelo asks me to retrieve and give a right good spanking to her, like i wasn't going to anyways. i get there right as are friend is pulling up telling me he just dropped her off back at her place. simple fix, hit the joint say my loves and fair goings. Knock and drive momma insane as she doesn't get how i can be back without her, like wise i'm surprised i could get there and still be surprised that she hadn't dropped by and immediately left again. text, text, bullshit of coarse nothing like lack of actual face/face or at least vocal communication to turn my hardest of woods into something closer the the material they make snuggies out of. to be quite honest i believe the whole things was punishment for my "inability " to remember to call her for my date though in all honesty i don't do dates, i do hanging out, casual flirting and making out are my pass times, pretending to give some1 a perfect moment as if it'd always be like that, between the shit all levels of hell are legally allowed to throw upon you daily. seems wrong, dishonest giving hope for a future that might never truly even exist. Before i actually know who you are, what your soul speaks as truth, and if my can intertwine between the cracks with mine to make them both whole. Love and lust are to different beasts. one ready to fight with a the tiniest of glances of a worthy opponent, the other nimble and weak from being beaten and broken over and over. you can only satisfy one at a time and sometimes picking the wrong one for a fight only makes them bleed harder, literally squirts of crimson even, with every beat. anyways i just meant to not call her til it was to late to do anything other then enjoy each others company and shit chat be neath the stars, that quite honestly are just waiting as much as you are to get it on. Simple, direct, no emotional roller coasters, no strapping in and bracing for imminent disaster, just two people not wanting to be alone, and isn't that really the only single grain of truth behind all the bullshit people talk just to hook up? so why hid it, why leave it in a dark corner ashamed when the thought it self is a pure instinct. Neither good nor evil its just are way to survive, to keep growing because those that fight alone, die alone always.

something that i just kept continuously pumping out when some asked me what happend to my date via FB seems like a such a waste to have it just be read by only one person. theres alot of editing obviously and structure problems but i like it, its honest i didn't have to think and make it perfect. but id love to hear any crittiqe you might have. please send all complaints to my email bloodyd4527@yahoo.com so i save them and use them for a good laugh later.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the narrator's outlook on love?

answer: The narrator seems to believe that love and lust are two different beasts, both of which must be satisfied. For the narrator, love is something deeper and more fulfilling, whereas sexual relationships are physically driven and easy. For the narrator, both love and lust are important for human survival, though one is more fundamental than the other.

answer: The narrator does not fancy love, which is why he does not do dates. He does see the need for intimacy and companionship, however, and views both love and lust as separate beasts. He feels that loving deeply and completely is the only way to keep on growing because if one fights alone, one dies alone. The narrator wants to be loved in return, and he is willing to fight for it. While he does not like how love makes him feel, he also does not hate it.

answer: The narrator believes in good love and bad love. Bad love wears you down and makes you bleed. Good love can fight through a meaning challenge.

text: The response does not fully embody the narrator's philosophy on love.

refinement: The narrator believes in love and lust. He thinks they both have their place though love seems to demand much more than he can give. Still, he thinks love is worth having,

answer: The narrator views love as something difficult and dangerous, which requires care and attention, but also believe that love can be worth fighting for.

answer: The narrator self-identifies as an unrepentant man-whore. He believes the disaster of a date he goes on - spent just trying to track down the woman he's meant to see - is punishment for the fact he didn't call to solidify their plans. He intentionally didn't call so that it would be too late to do anything other than hang out casually and hook up. He believes love and relationships lead to pain, and so can't even bring himself to organise a date that he claims would only give false hope for the future.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the incident with the police officer.

answer: The narrator is pulled over by a police officer for having his brights on. He gets a warning (instead of a fine) because he makes the cop laugh at his stupidity. He tells the cop the story of his friend Joel taking his condoms the day before to make himself a literal dick head, which is the reason the narrator has a big box of condoms from the gas station in his car. This helps to smooth things over.

answer: The narrator is pulled over and given a warning because the cops thought it was funny that they were so screwed. He says it wouldn't have happened if the radio silence before the date hadn't occurred. The timing, in conjunction with the state the narrator was in (high on two red bulls) - mind, stamina and barely fucked out prior to the date - led him to believe the radio silence was punishment for forgetting to call earlier in the day.

text: The response makes little sense with regard to the cop's response.

refinement: The narrator is pulled over and given a warning because the cops thought it was funny that the narrator's friend took his condoms and the narrator had to go an extra mile to buy them.

answer: Joel got stopped for having his high beams on and was carrying a box of condoms. On his way to see his date, her mother told him she had gone over to a mutual friend's bordelo. He went there but found that she had already left. He texted her and got no response, so he believes this was either a punishment for not calling or just a sign that things with her are over.

text: The response did not delve deep enough into the narrator's encounter with the police.

refinement: Joel got stopped for having his high beams on and was carrying a box of condoms. The policeman was amused at the narrator's explanation of how his condoms got stolen by his friend. The policeman lets the narrator go with a warning.

answer: The narrator of the story gets pulled over for having their brights on. As he left to go out to his date, he received a radio silence 20 minutes prior to leaving which should have been an indication that his date didn't want to speak to him. Regardless, he went to pick her up and came back without her. He got stopped by the police and got a warning.

answer: Joel took the condoms and left, resulting in an encounter with the police following Joel returning with the condoms. Joel attempted to explain why he was returning with the condoms, but his stories did not go over well with the roommate, who believed Joel had had a date without contacting the other party. The roommate also believed it was punishment for not following through with his plans.

History

The Company was established in 1832 by Thomas Richardson as a marine engineering concern based in Hartlepool under the name of _T Richardson & Sons_.[1] In 1900 it merged with _Sir C. Furness Westgarth and Company_ of Middlesbrough and _W. Allen and Company_ of Sunderland to form _Richardsons Westgarth_.[2] As part of the merger Furness Withy, a shipping business, took a controlling interest in the Company.[3]

From 1840 to 1857, products included steam locomotives.[4] The Company was at the forefront of the development of steam engines and diesel engines for large ships throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[5] It built engines for many ships including . In 1927, the company began manufacturing Brown Boveri designed turbo-alternators under licence.[6] It acquired the firm of George Clark in Sunderland in 1938.[7] In 1962 its marine activities were merged with that of Weir Group[8] and it began focussing on engineering for power stations such as Trawsfynydd[9] and Dungeness B. It ceased operations in Hartlepool in 1982.[10]

The Company then diversified into steel processing and was acquired by Klöckner, one of the world's largest steel stockholders, in 2000.[11]

text: I reach into my pocket to pull out some money for the man standing on the corner. He has a sign that says he is hungry and he has to feed his kids. I think about how much money I have compared to him. I have never worried about how I am going to eat. I fiddle with the money paper in my pocket, wondering to myself how much I should give him. 100 dollars? 200 dollars? It doesn't matter to me. I want to do a nice thing for someone else. It's not like I have anything more important to do. The money is already in my hand and I am rolling down the window when something catches my eye. The light just turned green. I had more important things to do. How much is 200 dollars going to help him anyways? He'll probably be standing on the corner again by next week. The money went back in my pocket and I drove off.

title: Man on the Corner

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What did the narrator see from their car?

answer: The narrator indecisively tried to give some money to a beggar standing on the corner.

answer: The narrator saw the man on the corner holding a sign and trying to feed his children.

answer: The narrator saw a man holding a sign thanking the narrator for their generous contribution.

text: The man is holding a sign asking for money, not thanking the narrator.

refinement: The narrator saw a man asking for money.

answer: The narrator saw the man on the corner holding a sign asking for help.

answer: A panhandler.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the narrator want to give the man?

answer: The narrator wants to give the man money in order to help him feed his kids.

answer: Money, one or two hundred dollars.

answer: The narrator wants to give the man some money.

answer: We don't know the amount

text: The answer should include that the narrator wants to give the man money.

refinement: The narrator wants to give him an unspecified amount of money.

answer: The narrator wants to give the man money for his kids.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Does the narrator give the panhandler the money?

answer: No, the narrator ultimately decides not to give the panhandler money.

answer: It's not said.

text: The question is answered.

answer: No, the narrator does not give the panhandler any money.

answer: No

answer: No.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why doesn't the narrator give the panhandler money?

answer: The narrator doesn't give the panhandler money because they think it would be a relatively insignificant help to him given his ongoing situation. The narrator considers their own important tasks that need to be completed better than donating money to someone else.

answer: He is more devoted to the activities he has just committed to.

text: The answer is misleading; the narrator does not commit to doing something while in the car.

refinement: The light turns green in  front of the narrator, and they believe that the small sum of money will not help the man.

answer: The light turned green, and something else caught his eye.

text: The passage does not indicate that anything caught the narrator's eye.

refinement: The light turned green, and the narrator drives off.

answer: He thinks the money will be wasted cause the man will probably be back on the corner the next week.

answer: The narrator decided that it wasn't worth the time or the money to help the panhandler. It seems like while giving money to the panhandler might be a good thing in principle, it would be insignificant in terms of actually helping them. Furthermore, the narrator could have other things to do that were more important.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator reaches into his pocket and pulls out his money to give to be a man who is standing on the corner, presumably homeless and seeking handouts. He ponders how much to give and decides to give him 200 dollars. However his thoughts are interrupted and he becomes distracted by the lights turning green, so he puts the envelope back in his pocket and drives away.

answer: The narrator considers giving money to a homeless man on the street corner. However, when the light turns green, the narrator realizes they have more important things to do. They decide against donating, realizing the money will not really make much of a difference in the man's situation.

answer: The narrator sees a man standing on the corner holding a sign that says he is hungry. The narrator hesitates for a moment before deciding to give him money, but ultimately decides not to because the light turned green and there were more important things to be done.

answer: The narrator parks their car outside their house. They think about how much money they have compared to a man on the corner who is asking for food. While the light turns green, they reconsider giving the man money, thinking about how much 200 dollars could help.

answer: The narrator describes the impulse to help someone else out. There is a panhandler with a sign saying that he's hungry. At first, the narrator wants to help this man, but his attention is quickly and easily diverted, and when the light changes in the same moment, he figures his help wasn't that important, and drives off.

I awake. The red LEDs of my alarm clock next to me glow dimly in the dark. 2:30. I had gotten not but an hour of sleep, but still I know I will not be able to return to it. Ah, sleep, the mindless slumber that has eluded me for years. Ever since *you* left.

I turn the dial on the knob next to my bed. The lamp glows, illuminating the room. I get out of my bed and walk to my front room. I consider putting on music, but decide that the rain outside is enough. Rain is my favorite weather. It rained when we lived in Seattle, do you remember that?

On my table lies a folded note I once had written long ago to you. The paper, now soft from age and wear, seems out-of-place in this kind of world. I open it and read it for what seems like the thousandth time in the last few days. I walk outside. The rain softly lands on my clothes. I'm reminded of the old poem I wrote back in high school, sitting in my English class.

    Swish, sway, flux and flow
    Why this happened I don't know
    The man is dead this much is true
    His body hangs, his life is through

    A cotton rope would form a noose
    Not too tight, not too loose
    His life had flashed before his eyes
    Ending in a suicide

    Pitter-patter, says the rain
    Everybody feels the blame
    For a while, the grief is shared
    But in the end nobody cared

I remembered about how I used to be angry all the time. Angry at my family for some dumb reason. Angry at the world for being the harsh reality that it is. Angry at myself for not quite fitting into the world, the way everyone else does, even the odd little boys and girls who spend their nights alone.

As I walk down my street, a stoplight flickers on. I think I see your before realizing that it was just a fence post. I thought I saw you, but perhaps it was just wishful thinking.

What would I do if we met again? If I could see you once more? *I* certainly don't know. I wouldn't like you to see the way I live my life nowadays, half-drunk and wearing last year's clothes, thinking last year's thoughts.

I think about what I used to live for. I realize that my biggest reason to live was for people who needed me, people who were like you. I guess I let you down then. That's why you left. It turns out that no matter how much I wish I could, I couldn't take responsibility for your happiness.

I think if I could do it over, I would have gone with you. Or maybe a few days later. There's no point now. No point to anything.

We had grown around each other, and when you had left, I collapsed.

title: An ode to suicide

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Who is the narrator?

answer: The narrator is the person who was left behind when their loved one committed suicide.

answer: That information can't be found

text: I think you can say something about the narrator-that they're a grieving person, someone who has been left, and probably due to someone's suicide.

refinement: The narrator is a grieving person, someone who has been left, and probably due to someone's suicide.

answer: The narrator is someone who has let go of a lost love.

text: I don't think they simply let go-in fact, I think they're holding on,as evidenced by their writing this in grief and/or pain. It seems they lost someone against their will, possibly to suicide.

refinement: The narrator is someone who has been left by a love, possibly due to the other person's suicide.

answer: The narrator is someone who has lost someone and can't go back to sleep, so he writes a letter.

text: I would add that they are grieving and/or in pain because this seems like a suicide.

refinement: The narrator is someone who has lost someone-possibly to suicide-and can't go back to sleep due to pain and grief, so they write a letter.

answer: An adult, male who is very lonely

text: I'm not sure how the person/AI responding draw the conclusion that the narrator is male and adult. The latter I can see being a more reasonable conclusion.

text: There should be more detail. We know the narrator is sad and possibly grieving about a friend who possibly committed suicide.

refinement: Someone who is very lonely, and grieving because their friend died, likely from suicide.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Who is the narrator addressing?

answer: Someone we can infer to be a close friend who is either deceased or has moved somewhere far away

answer: The narrator addresses their deceased love interest.

text: We don't know this is about a love interest-nowhere does it indicate they were romantic or sexual.

refinement: The narrator addresses a deceased person for whom they cared deeply.

answer: The author is writing to their ex-lover.

text: We don't know this is about a love interest-nowhere does it indicate they were romantic or sexual.

refinement: The author is writing to someone about whom they cared deeply.

answer: The narrator is addressing a former love, who committed suicide.

text: It's not definite that the deceased was a lover-they could have been friends or related to each other.

refinement: The narrator is addressing someone about whom they cared a lot, who committed suicide.

answer: S/he seems to be addressing an ex-partner.

text: This could be a friend, but I appreciate the ambiguity in the language of the answer: "seems to be".

refinement: S/he seems to be addressing an ex-partner, though this could be a friend or relative.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Where does the story take place?

answer: This story seems to take place in an apartment or the surrounding neighborhood.

answer: The narrator's home

answer: The story takes place outside in a street.

text: Since the story begins with an alarm clock, it's likelier that it is set indoors.

refinement: The story takes place at least in part in the narrator's room, and then outside on the street as the narrator walks.

answer: The narrator's dwelling, and the streets of a rainy city

answer: The story takes place in the protagonist's home.

text: The narrator also goes out to their street.

refinement: The story takes place in the protagonist's home, and then on their street.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

In what time period is the story set?

answer: The story is set in the present.

answer: The story is set in the present.

answer: It is not stated.

answer: Close to the present, since the narrator has an LED alarm clock

answer: That information can't be found

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: This poem is a reflection on suicide. The speaker considers the reality of their own loss and the death of their loved one, and realizes that their life is lacking without them. They consider what could have been different and confess that they would have left with the loved one if they could have changed anything. Ultimately, there's no point left in living, with no reason or motivation left. The poem ends in reflection and melancholy.

answer: This poem deals with the repercussions of a loved one's suicide on the survivor. The speaker remembers times spent with the departed one and wonders what she would do if they both ever happened to meet again. The loss has left her feeling estranged from life and depleted, both materially and emotionally. If given the chance she would have likely followed their path, and now there is no point to anything left.

answer: The narrator lies awake for almost an hour before giving up and getting out of bed. The narrator is angry at the world and at himself for no reason. He thinks perhaps he did not take responsibility for the happiness of his partner.

text: This misses the entire point-the narrator is remembering someone once close to them who committed suicide. To state the narrator feels this way "for no reason" is glaringly unfaithful to what is expressed in the text. Also we don't know the gender of the narrator.

refinement: The narrator lies awake for almost an hour before giving up and getting out of bed. The narrator is angry at the world and at themselves because someone for whom they cared deeply committed suicide. They think perhaps they did not take responsibility for the happiness of the deceased.

answer: The narrator wakes up at 2:30 AM, having only gotten an hour of sleep. They leave their house, feel the rain on their clothes, and recall a poem they wrote in high school about a man who commits suicide. The narrator walks down their street and feels there is no point to anything since someone they used to live for is gone.

answer: The narrator is reflecting on a long-lost love and on their current state of mind. He feels the need to change who and what he is because he thinks his ex left him because he wasn't always attentive to her. He's starting to feel depressed because he misses her and needs to find something to do to get around his depression.

text: We don't know the gender of the narrator.

refinement: The narrator is reflecting on a long-lost love and on their current state of mind. They feel the need to change who and what they are because they think their ex left them because they weren't always attentive to that person. They are starting to feel depressed because they miss them and needs to find something to do to get around their depression.

text: This misses the point that a friend or relative-not necessarily a partner-committed suicide.

refinement: The narrator is reflecting on a long-lost love and on their current state of mind. They feel the need to change who and what they are because this person of whom they speak and for whom they have cared deeply committed suicide. They are starting to feel depressed because they miss them and needs to find something to do to get around their depression.


text:
Was bored, wrote this in about an hour. Constructive criticism and general feedback are both appreciated.

---

Lyra stood in the doorway of the dressing room, her hands placed expressively on either hip. She knew that it was time to speak up. She would give the Master one last chance, but she had a feeling that this would be his final show.

“Ah yes, my sweet Lyra. What do you come about for? You've hardly any makeup on yet! Don't you know the show's about to start? Go get...”

“I'm not performing with you tonight.” she said, as firmly as she could.

“Excuse me?” the Master replied, dumbfounded. His mouth hung slightly agape.

“I'm done with the show. I'm not doing it anymore. You're going to have to find a new assistant.”

At this point, she knew there was no retracting her sentiment. She stood in the doorway, grasping the frame with palms of nervous sweat.

“Well, Lyra, I... Frankly I... I don't think you're in any position to make such brash decisions.” His face  glistened with the same sweat of her palms. “You signed the contract, and the contract says...”

“You drugged me, you bastard.” She was beginning to shudder with pent up rage, anger coursing readily through her heated veins. “I couldn't even speak when I signed that thing. You promised me money, fame, love...”

“...But the promises of a madman are as empty as your pretty little head, aren't they darling?” The nervous sweat had vanished from his face, replaced with only the darkest shades of malevolent confidence. The chuckle that followed was far from hearty.

Not once did Lyra move her gaze from his. She knew he would refuse to release her, and now that he had, she cognized the weight that his refusal carried. This brought her some emotional relief. She knew his triumph would be short-lived.

“Now go put on your things, you filthy slut.” He moved his eyes from hers and peered down into his tobacco pipe. A swift light drew out a large plume of smoke, and a few puffs later he returned his stare. “If you're not ready in five, you're in for one hell of a beating.”

She realized that the only viable response was to feign momentary subservience. “Yes master.” she replied, with an eerie calmness to her tone. She had stopped shaking; her anger had subsided. She knew that she had won, but the Master knew not.

As sharp as he was, he found nothing awry with her sudden obedience, and seemed more than pleased that his threats had done their job. “Yes, good girl. Now off with you!” Elements of playfulness pervaded his own tone, underscoring his outright insanity.

Lyra turned on her heel and walked to her dressing room. The door hung slightly open, and she pushed it the rest of the way in with her body. She knew it would be her final visit, so she made a point to gather the few things she truly cared for.

“Hairbrush, mace, lockpicks...” She briefly ran through a mental list of things to keep. When she got to the end, her suitcase was practically overflowing. She paused and thoughtfully gazed at her sandals.

“This is it.” She said to herself. She reached her hand into the hidden compartment of the suitcase and pulled out “the instrument” – a common knife with a single edged blade sharpened to a razor point. The Master seldom allowed her to use utensils when they ate together, but she had managed to garner the knife following the post-meal alcohol daze of his Friday eve meat feast.

The illumination of the red light in the hallway caught her attention as it reflected off of the blade in her hand. The show was starting - it was time to go. Her stature was firm and her goal clear in her mind as she strutted towards the stage, grasping the instrument for dear life.

She heard the roar of the audience as was blinded by the incessant haze of the overhead lights. Everyone had come to see the Master perform his tricks, fooling them as charmingly as he had her on the night that she was signed into servitude.

“And now...” roared his voice, “put your hands together for my lovely assistant... Lyra!”

The audience was familiar with this routine. Every member applauded her entry with great enthusiasm, for the more they expressed, the more bewildering the Masters tricks would be.

As she walked onto the platform, the applause tapered off abruptly, perhaps with the most acute decrescendo of the century. They saw her dressed casually, not as her usual subservient self. Boos began to replace former cheers, and the master felt a fair mix of anger and embarrassment.

He marched over to her while waving at the audience with a 'just a moment' gesture. “What on great mother earth do you fancy you're doing, you little whore? You're ruining the show! I told you to get your act together! And what the bloody hell are you fumbling with!?”

As her arm shot towards his collar, his eyes widened with terror. She plunged the instrument deep into the front of his neck, and it penetrated his adam's apple with ease. To her, it felt as if she were cutting butter.

He managed to let out a few exasperated gurgles before she slid the knife further up the sides of his neck. As it severed his carotid artery, blood spurted from the resulting wounds in a manner that seemed almost cartoonish. It was an unsettling sight, but she relished in the moment like none other, watching his life slowly drain away, his hatred and cruelty being replaced by emptiness and his consciousness slipping deeper into the void of oblivion.

Most of the members of the audience had left in a panicked frenzy. However, one particular man, deluded as he was, came up onto the stage and began to charge at Lyra, thinking her to be some sort of murderer who needed to be brought to proper justice.

She had very little time to finish her task. She looked the Master in his near-vacant eyes one last time as he lay on the polished hardwood floor of the stage, his brain cells rapidly atrophying. “It's all in your eyes, Master.” she whispered. “It's all in your eyes.”

With that, a swift kick to the head did him in. She hastily recovered the Nekraf from his front suit pocket, a device that could teleport the user to any destination of their choosing. Just before the enraged man grabbed the bottom portion of her blouse, she closed her eyes, pressed the prime button, felt a sharp jolt, and vanished into thin air. He stood around confused for a few more moments, looking up, down and every which way, but ultimately concluded that she truly was gone. In a minutes time, no one was left in the house save for the corpse of the accursed Master himself.

His show was no more, his tricks no longer existent. His mind control was nullified, and most of the audience members had recovered their full wits and were flabbergasted as to what they'd just experienced. Many speculated, but none remembered for sure. The Master was a forgotten man, his show a sullen piece, and his evils finally lain to a well-deserved rest.

“Home.” she said to herself, in near disbelief. “I'm finally home.”

She walked on.
