MY LIFE WAS SPOILED BY MY FATHER.

THE CHILDREN SPOILED ME WITH THEIR CONFESSIONS:

BLATANT AND EXPLICIT...

OBSCENE AND GROTESQUE...

HONEST...

NO SECRETS...

AND BOUND TOGETHER FOREVER...

EVEN UNTO DEATH.

AND NOW I (MY FRIENDS)

AM BUT A MERE ECHO OF THEIR ANGST.

WHEN I MET MARK I WAS TORN:

WOULD I WIN HIS LOVE AND RECEIVE HIS BODY?

"ALL OR NOTHING"

WE GAMBLED...AND WON!

MY SALVATION WAS SOILED...

ONLY RESCUED...

NOT SAVED...

BUT THE NEXT TRIAL BY FIRE IS MORE THAN DEPRAVED.

CHRIST ONCE CRUCIFIED WASHED AWAY SIN WITH HIS BLOOD...

BUT CAN MARK WASH AWAY PAIN WITH HIS WHISPERED CONFESSIONS?

THE PENULTIMATE DESIRE;

INNOCENT AND DANGEROUS...

GENTLE AND TORMENTED...

I'VE LONGED FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE -

FOR WITH THE DRUGS AND THE DEATH...

THE SIN AND THE SHAME...

HE IS ALL OF THE CHILDREN MADE ONE AND THE SAME.

IF ONLY HE'D THE COURAGE TO CALL IT BY NAME!

WITH THE SECRETS REVEALED...

WITH THE DARKNESS RELEASED...

I WOULD LAY CLAIM TO HIS SOUL...

AND WE'D FINALLY BE WHOLE;

TEAR DROPS AND LAUGHTER...

CHILDREN AT PEACE.

CAN MARK'S CONFESSION SET BOTH OF US FREE?

ALL OR NOTHING...

WHICH WILL IT BE?
