I'm Afraid of Sunshine.

Radioactive daylight
streams through my window.
God,
I WANT IT TO GO AWAY!
DON'T touch me!
My flesh begins to
melt,
everything hurts.
Close the blinds!
Please?!?
...
Someone...?

I understand now...
I smile as this
shining glass body
dissolves
into the clouds.

Insects swarm
and devour what is left
of my burned corpse.

This is why I don't like going outside.
