Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Her fierce and angry soul hides amongst the beauty of her light. She's deadly and contagious as she blazes from person to person burning all that she touches. She roams without a shadow and she doesn't want to be seen. She lives in the form on humanity and it's hard to tell. It's hard to tell who is infected with her evil and who is not. Fire, it's a dangerous thing.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“We are all flames waiting to be fed”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins

Arti Manani, Seven Sins

Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“I don't see the fire, I see colours. Beautiful colours dancing in the dark, waiting to torch the souls of many, charming them with their gentle waves until they magically transform life into the darkness of death, all with nothing but the flickering spark of the dancing flame.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Do I stand alone in the darkness, or do I rise in the shadows? The choice is mine, but what they fail to tell me, is that it doesn't make a difference. Either way, I am destined for destruction.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins

“When you're done with being used, you become desperate to fight back and it doesn't matter how far you go, as long as you go. It's like a bomb that's ticking inside you and the longer you keep it in, the louder the explosion and the greater the damage.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins

Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“She flew past me, exiting the house as if she didn't smell the scent of a dead man lingering over me, as if she didn't hear the screams that were trying to flee from my gut, as if she didn't see the blood that painted my hands.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Death. Although it comes once, it lasts forever.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“A mirror doesn't give a man a true reflection of who he is. It doesn't show him what's on the inside. It doesn't show him the things he covers up with a smile whilst standing in front of it, telling himself he's okay. Death will. His true form will stand before him, stretched out forming the thickest, darkest truths he's ever seen.

I don't want to be there when I die. Death. Although it comes once, it lasts forever.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Yet here I am now, wondering where I messed up. Wondering when I became a bad person. A sudden thought creeps into my head and I wonder, maybe I've always been this way.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Who knew the troubles you have when you're young are only a taste of what's to come?”

“I focused so much on my conscious mind that I forgot about the one beneath it, the one that wanted to talk but could only whisper. I'd suffocate those whispers and I'd feed the silence, but it was still there, hidden but not discreet as it pierced my insides with the sharpness of its thorns, growing inside me within the darkness of my soul. I continued to pretend it wasn't there, that I was okay. Because everyone else's opinions, although they shouldn't matter, they did. They did and it made all the fucking difference.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“If there was anything darker than black, it was me.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Humans, we survive differently. We numb those empty feelings, we revert to anger and hatred. We block out remorse because we no longer want to care. It's an escape of some sort, to hide the long periods of trying to deal with the bouts of bullshit in the right way. We betray ourselves, we lose our values, and worse, we forget who we are.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Talking. It's important and I wish I fucking did it.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Friendship. There's something earthy about that word but ships belong in the ocean. I guess all you can do is ride the waves and hope a storm doesn't come.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Like an animal, I adapted to the world around me until it became my norm. This is me now. I'm a killer...”

“She lay there, pale and pasty with a layer of grey smothered over her skin. Her head was slumped against the drawer like a dead flower as her arms hung limp on her sides. Her cheeks had been stained with tears and I wondered whether she really wanted to die.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“A beast does not have to be big. He does not need fangs nor fur. He does not need horns nor does he need to howl in the night. He has two eyes, a nose and a mouth. He walks on two legs and he looks just like me.”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
“Pride or shame? What's the difference?”
Arti Manani, Seven Sins
