The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
Joseph Conrad

I've slept poorly for nearly 20 years now. With the exception of times I've been ill I've not slept for more than 5 hours since the early 90's. I'm haunted by a lot of ghosts. The blackness is torn open every night and new spirits are shaken out into the world.

Watching the feeds this morning, The yule season is dominated by stories of rape. Escorts, and soldiers, the christmas season is apparently the season for violent penetration.
