Synopsis
I am Caesar. Broken and conflicted. I am a man who gives false goodness to those who crave it. I provide solace to the ones who beg to be saved, giving them the goodbyes they want. But, my quiet little world is about to be shattered by the whispers from heaven and hell.
I am Mateo. Unlovable and unworthy. I am the boy everyone runs from. I keep love close to me in little jars of perfection, reminding me of a thousand goodbyes I never had to say, because I left them before they could leave me.
I am Svetlana. Dirty and Used. Birthed into brutality while still trying to comprehend my version of normal. I am an injured lamb, eaten by filthy wolves day after day. Just as salvation seems like it's within reach, a goodbye from this awful world is all that I wish for.

Excerpt
“We
need to go, Lettie doll.”
Why? Why does he call me that? Why does he make
me feel like I want to keep living for tomorrow? I hate it! But
I have no choice as I stare into his black eyes. They draw me in and
suck the wind from my lungs, once begging for death, now craving
life. The tearing I remembered from before with Pavel is instantly
replaced with lust, throbbing between my legs as I feel the urge to
fall to my knees and kiss his bloody boots to show him how much I
praise him. He holds my heart in his hands. He knows this, but
something tells me that his heart is in the balance, too.
Girls
like me hold no power. I took life. I took one of his dolls because
they held something I never will. Peace. Order. Death. I broke. The
little, quiet girl who let herself be raped day after day let herself
break into a million pieces as the hard dick pleasured her while her
lover loved him more. I thought for sure I would be reprimanded for
my actions, but a softness I haven’t seen before is present in his
eyes. And maybe something else. Worry? Is that worry? Is his face
red? I find myself wanting to comfort him, but he doesn’t like to
be touched. My warm, trembling hands make him feel uncomfortable. The
push and pull between life and death, love and loss, is making me
mad.
-Svetlana, The
Goodbye Man
