Poems in Blood
Four voices. Four fractures. One story that refuses to stay buried.
I wrote First Responder as an autopsy of normal life — the kind that smiles in public and bleeds in private.
The world looks ordinary until you stare at it long enough.
Then it starts to move.
This page is a collection of voices from inside that world. Each poem is a wound that speaks.
Each summary is what it cost them to say it.
Dr. Stevens (Thomas)
When hunger speaks louder than daylight
and confession comes easier in dim rooms.
They tell me what they refuse to swallow.
I listen. I chart. I correct.
I prescribe structure like salvation.
What I never say
is that I understand restraint too well.
That I know how to survive
by denying the body what it demands.
I have lived on control.
I have lived on less.
I have lived on blood,
measured, justified, documented in my own way.
Karen didn’t come looking for me.
She came looking for monsters.
I was simply standing still long enough
to be seen.
In His Own Words:
I work nights because people unravel honestly in the dark… once I was noticed, the past I buried as Thomas started to breathe again.

Time bends eventually. People break faster.
Thomas thought he had erased himself.
Changed his name.
Changed his rules.
As if blood forgets.
Karen was not my problem —
she was my signal.
I do not chase what will come to me.
I step into the light
only when it is unavoidable.
When he saw me again,
he remembered who he was.
That was enough.
In Her Own Words:
Thomas believed he had escaped me… I only needed to be present long enough for memory to do its work.
Karen
Still don’t.
But I didn’t expect him to be quiet.
Monsters usually overplay their hand.
He listened too well.
Worked too late.
Knew too much about control.
I followed instinct, not proof.
I didn’t find him.
I revealed him.
And something older was already watching.
In Her Own Words:
I wasn’t hunting him specifically… That’s when the game stopped being mine.
Linda
how to smile through grease and fluorescent light.
At night, I became louder.
Visible.
Wanted.
I showed myself because it felt like control.
Thomas didn’t look away.
He watched like someone who understood hunger.
Love doesn’t ask permission.
It just turns the lights on.
In Her Own Words:
I never meant to expose him… I only knew what I was.
Second Chances
Consequences don’t reset — they multiply. Every decision is paid twice: once in blood, and again in memory.
Hemoglobin Insecure
Identity fractures deeper. Masks evolve. Survival becomes personal.
