In a sparsely furnished room on the second floor of The Underground, there is a desk. Laying open on this desk is a tattered on book in a brown leather jacket. The words on the page of a jumble of letters, messy, the page stained.
March 4th, 1921.
My dear family, I'm sorry I've failed you. I'm sorry I am not the son or the nephew that you had wanted. I have done things in my life, that no man should have ever done. Now, now my mind is hauntex, and my heart darkened. I'm lost, and scared, I don't know what to do. I... I only have one option left.
I have tried everything to stop these voices, to keep the shadows away. They won't leave though. They won't stop screaming at me. Whispering to me at night. I can't fight them. I can't. Not anymore. I'm left with no choice.
Mother, Father, I'm sorry I was such a disappointment to you. I tried to be a good son, it just wasn't in my nature. There were too many things to do, and words left unsaid. I'm sorry, I love you both.
Uncle Cormac, you always tried to teach me to be more patient... I tried, Uncle, I truly did, patience though, it's not my strong suit. I always tried to be a great man, like you, I have only ever loved the family, and would do anything for them. It's why I do this now to ease your burden. Forgive me, Uncle... I just am not strong enough anymore.
Maureen. My sweet angel, the light that has always pierced the darkness in me. You mean more to me, than anything in this world. I have always loved you, my dear innocent sister. It is that love that will not allow me to let you see me like this. I hope one day you will forgive me for this. I love you, my angel.
Please, my family, forgive me. I can not fight anymore, not against this. I am so sorry for failing all of you.
With all of my love,
Finley.
