    ... he gave on the outside… on the inside , it was a completely different truth. Jay’s world was desolate, a drifting place of desecration. It was cold, gloomy, and grey, like a lifeless land that was once lush and green, but ruined by disease, plagued and condemned by the wrath of God. This was what it looked like to step into his world. But there was a reason for everything. He was not placed into this darkness by the divine hands of justice. In fact, it was a severe injustice . This wasn’t God’s punishment. This was the prison Jay had built for himself. This was the place he hid the little boy who had never grown up. Somewhere in the center of his personal limbo, sat a crying child, hugging his bloodied knees to his chest, hiding his face and lowering his head like a turtle seeking the safety of its shell.

But for other children, children who are just as innocent and deserving of love, their nightmares are not limited to the hours of sleep. Their nightmares exist in every waking hour of every day. Their demons are very much alive and chase them down every hall way, into every bathroom, bedroom, closet, car… their demons take the shape of humans. Their monsters take the form of fathers and mothers, sisters or bothers, neighbors and strangers. They can fool the entire world, but behind closed doors, when they are alone with these trusting, naïve little children, their masked humanity melts off their faces and their true form is revealed.
