But don’t mistake my work for heroism. I didn’t do this to protect you, or anyone else.
I did it because I had no choice.
Once you’ve heard them, these stories never leave you.
They burrow into your mind, your soul, until you are nothing but a vessel for their survival.
And so, I gathered them here, bound them together, hoping to trap them in this book as they have trapped me.
