Elie Flynn

"The Tearsmith." What do you think of when you hear this phrase? You probably recall a movie or a book; you think of a beautiful boy who is kind at heart, but whose life has simply left him wounded. But what if that isn’t true? Such a beautiful phrase, yet behind it lies the agony of others. A "Tearsmith" is a person who gave tears to everyone, killing their minds and crushing their will. Everyone has—or will have—their own "Tearsmith," but the most important thing is to realize that he is a killer. So why do we romanticize them? Is it possible that every one of us is a victim? Or perhaps the "Tearsmith" stands right behind us, reaching out to cover our eyes.
