Born from a heap where words are incompatible with melodies, they rose from the voices of unidentified diseases and had to travel hundreds of miles to find their scent. They were thought to be rich, not a penny came out of their pockets. They were thought to be beautiful, even the mirrors could not look at their faces. They wanted to understand their nature, why they were born that way and what the "curse" was on them. They ripped off their skin, then grazed each other's bones. They swam in the pool of blood, but they did not care, for a while their pain subsided. It gave them the world to find out what caused it.
