ABOUT THE STORY:

One family. One empire. Two legacies.

They built thick walls around their empire to safeguard their legacy. They used the breath of their enemies and anyone they deemed insignificant to lay its foundation; their bodies as blocks to hold it up, their blood as cement to keep it steady, their fear to keep it standing through the storms, and their vanity to make it a national treasure. They called it the Imperial Legacy. But what if the enemy was gnawing at the walls from within, one brick at a time?

Who are you….

I thought about you again today
My eyes, my ears, my mind
The more I try to erase you
The more I miss you
Who are you?
Where are you?

I thought I saw you again today
My beating heart that’s my sworn enemy
My eyes that see only you
My ears that hear only you
Who are you?
Where are you?

I thought I tasted you again in my tears today
I saw you when I closed my eyes
I heard your laughter from across the room
My shame, my mistake, my regret
Who are you?
Where are you?

I thought I reached for you again today
I touched the bleeding memories
That have become my second nature
I’m grasping at ghosts and shadows
Who are you?
Where are you?
