❝ -- Natasha, please ... ❞

Luka huffs as he pulls away from her, she had been fussing over him for a while now. He didn't want to trouble her any further. Ever since they were kids he had only been her main source of worry. She had the rest of the Underworld to worry about. He didn't need to be treated, and her limited supplies would be wasted on him.

❝ I've had this arm for years now, you don't need to worry about me any more. Just concentrate on the people that need your care. ❞

The red head rolls his left shoulder, he grimaces at the pull of a muscle that was irritated. He knew what she might say next. That he shouldn't be straining himself or he should not box for a few days longer but if he did that he would be lost. Hopeless and lost like when he lost his right arm. He flashes her a smile in reassurance, the last thing he wanted was for an intelligent and successful woman like her to worry about someone like him.

❝ I'm okay. ❞

I wrote this for @chvrches fanzine submission. A little bit of me with #screenviolence . I'm from Switzerland so I hope my English reads OK with you all =)

"He said she said", always rumors and interpretations, hell with devious words, misunderstandings and conflicts of all kinds. Every day we can meet people from around the world. It is priceless. A wealth of culture and powerful sharing, but no one really benefits from it. But hell is never far away when the true nature of others is revealed, when the lullaby of a beautiful relationship gives way to nightmares. What a disillusionment. Little by little, wickedness devoured everything, as I tried to be the good girl, the good friend. The truth is, I have often been deceived or abused. I am just asking for a friend, but I get laughed at, because I'm not suited. I do not fit into the boxes, I do not correspond to the image of others, I do not respond to convenience. How not to drown and succeed in keeping my integrity, still knowing who I am when, among them all, of everyone, I'm nevertheless outside, so lonely? Abuse of trust, toxic relationship, wickedness takes everything, for free and without foundation, just as the California sun burns the bodies, the violent delights of networks devours the soul. Yet there are the clues, dotted here and there, and we have the freedom to pay attention or not, to seek or not. It's "better if you don't" they tell me. But I am like that, passionate and honest. But I don't know how to protect myself and even though I think I'm the good one and do everything I can, deep down, I can also be the final girl. The one who sometimes wants revenge when we do not suspect her. This anger and this hatred, we all have it within us, gangrenous by those of others. This is the real Screen Violence.

@chvrches My entry for the CHVRCHES fanzine - a poem called ‘Screen Violence’

You Can’t Kill The King

[storytimelines]

i’m watching tv (short story)

tw// blood, murder, mentions of shootings

I woke up around 8 AM, and I felt awful. The feeling had been going on for days, weeks, months, years, longer than I can remember. I make some breakfast, and I felt this sense of deep despair while I was making it. I mentally shake off the thoughts and sit down to watch TV.

What I saw while watching:

-  A landslide in Idaho killed 20 people. There were families on the floor crying, kneeling into the dirt, overwhelmed by their lives taken away from them. I want to do something, but I know there’s nothing I could do.

-  There was a shooting downtown. I don’t want to get into the details. Images of extreme violence and gore, the sounds of pure terror echo through my mind. I change the channel.

-  Some true crime show investigating the murder of a woman, which seems like the preferred choice of crime for shows like these. I stumble onto a scene where the two investigators are in the morgue, talking about the particulars of the case with a body in front of them, laying there covered in a sheet. The sheet is uncovered, and every shot makes a point to show her head with a hole in it. It makes me feel weird, so I just turn off the TV.

I get a call from my friend Allie as I put my dishes away. I put them on speaker, and her voice trails off in the distance as drips of blood fall down into the sink. I briefly touch my nose, and the spot of blood on my finger runs down my skin.

What’s going on? Why am I getting a nosebleed? Did I do something?

Am I dying? Is this what dying feels like? Do I tell my family I miss them? My friends? Am I okay with dying so young?

How would this look on the news?

I hang up the call and gently put a tissue in my nostril and I lie down on the couch. I see it now:

“New at 7, a local depressive dies under mysterious circumstances…”

I imagine photos of my body, blood running down my face, dead on the same couch I’m currently lying in. My introduction to millions of families worldwide would be my dead body. It terrifies me. Millions of families all over the country, already subject to the world’s horror on the daily basis, looking at my death and greeting it with a shrug.

Regardless, I grab the remote and turn the TV back on again. I need something to watch.

Art, set me free.

I have witnessed the murders of thousands of people.  Watched and cheered stars of film and television go on killing rampages.  All in the comfort of my home.   All in the nature of entertainment.  The first time a movie terrified it must have been a Hammer vampire film.  I was five years old.  The main character was trapped in a stone coffin.  I thought that was terrifying.  He was clawing at the stone until his fingers were bloody.  

My father, a science fiction aficionado, was more keen to Star Trek or Cherry 2000.  Horror was something I found on my own.  The final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first crazy thing I remember seeing.  Witnessing a man's face melt literally fried my young mind.

A few years later, I figured out I was going to die.  I slipped into that paradoxical doom thought and I don't think I have ever come out.  To calm me down, my mother put a t.v. in my room.

Even while I experienced violence at the hands of my father, I craved it in comic books and 80s slasher and action movies.  It was thrilling to see Wolverine's unsheathed claws.  You knew somebody was going to get stabbed.   Freddy's unending dream slaughter cracked my shit up.   Rambo was a badass because he made a guy explode with an explosive arrow!  I loved teenagers getting murdered by an unstoppable psycho.  I also snuck into my father’s workroom and carved lines into my arms.   

 Why?  I realize I am the end result of decades of screen violence.  I committed violence against myself.  Only decades later, do I see the effects of violence in my life.  If you raise a hand to me I will flinch.  The mental trauma is deeper and deadlier.  One has to remake oneself.  Cycles of abuse can be broken.  I did not treat my child as I was treated.  My child who has played hundreds of hours of survival horror games.  She is the most non-violent person I know.  

When 9-11 happened, the baseline for society's psychosis spiked.  We saw real horrors in real time.  Any number of actual deaths could be found on the Internet.  One click away from the unseeable.  

What if, for instance, comic books and films weren't corporate tools for the glorification of violence?  Can we create books about anything else?

I am so caught up in the madness of this conditioning - a PTSD affected by-product of media conglomerates glorifying pain and misery.  

I challenge the artists of today and the artists yet to come.  Let's not make violence our default.  Let's make diversity and love our default.  Conflict doesn't have to be violence and cruelty.  

We can apply real ethics to video games and horror and comic books.  We can do better.  We can stop writing stories that read like conditioning handbooks for the military.  Stop writing horror movies that are almost 2 hours of constant death.

Only Art can change the momentum of our dreams.  Art will make us transcend our corporate programming.  Art will set us free.
