Rating: PG13Length: One hundred words. Summary: It's not hard. Most people do it without even deciding to.

When I made my threat invisible, you made your eyes unblinking. When I gave it a human face, you rejected your heart as a weakness. You became deaf when it first learned to talk, deaf even to your own voice. I armed it with its own nightmares and you armed yourself with yours.

I made it look like yourself, and you suffer no mirror to show your face.

Now I look at you with a mother's pride. I will kill myself and my threat where you'll never know, and this thing we built together will be immortal.
