Escape the Black Widow's Web

Location

There is no use fighting it.

 Instinct. It’s inside us.

Can we help this urge?

Suicide.

 

We are the black widows.

Beautiful. Seems alright.

But maybe there is more to that.

Deadly.

 

Deadly secrets hidden.

Hidden. Underneath sleeves.

Under masks and under smiles.

Invisible.

 

But there are signs.

Check. Look closer at us.

What do you see?

Scars.

 

Maybe, there is help.

Quickly. Before it’s too late.

What will you do?

Speak.

 

It’s never too late.

Help. We’re not alone.

Do what you can.

Prevention.
