1.             Every time I spin the wheel it lands on my name.

2.             It helps to have multiple names.

3.            I look in the mirror and see a demon in there.

4.            I haven’t seen myself in years.

5.            I don’t even know what I look like anymore.

6.            Does a chrysalis know it’s a chrysalis?

7.             When I die thousands of spiders will blossom from my skin.

8.            When I die the demon will discard my body and find a new host to possess.

9.            The dead me will look like the real me.

10.           I honestly believe I will never die.
