Whispers spoken behind people's backs. Ones that poke and stab at them until finally they break. People talk while the person with the black blood of words trickling down their backs is screaming for all of the whispers to stop. And when they finally snap, the sneers become clearer and the voices in the hallway become louder until they are unbearable. The weight comes to knock them over in the form of a purposely placed foot in front of them and the pressure for them to get up and face the torture of something so powerful as a word when all they want to do is lay there and curl up to avoid the punches and kicks that come with another hand covering another mouth who speaks into another's ear where they take another one down.
