Howling Minds

A howling of the mind, stripped of rationale; logic. Fed with doubts
and mistruths until gross exaggeration and misinterpretation cloud
cavernous matter.

Worn-down, weary, give in to suggestion and coincidence. An infliction
with evolving origination, creating an irony: The cause of the malaise
is not what maintains it, leaving it an impossibility to trace it back
to source. Following that river only leads to forks, branches, and
finally a delta into a massive ocean that cannot be sorted, only looked
out upon in wonderment.

It causes mothers to leave familes.

She left, no planning, no warning, no reservation for the others. Left
to go to follow her' nowhere. Leaving only questions about lies and
long deceit, with no answers, none that fit reason.But that was the
answer, she left her reason for turmoiled perception. As if walking out
into a fog, a storm, blind to the next step. Isn't that what it is? A
storm that brews from restless adolescence. Until rage; rage into
abandonment. Of senses? Of self.

It causes sisters to tear bonding ties.

A bounty of havoc without direction, only force. Tainting every good
intention, malforming each into an eager, joyless whim of her own
design. Tossing daggers at her targets, aimed with unnerving accuracy
to the most vulnerable spots, while remaining somehow blind to the cuts
and scars they leave. It continues, fueling her never-ending explosion
that propels an outlook viewed through fiery, inflicted eyes.

It causes brothers to desert; leave; search.

Search for detachment. Desiring an end or beginning. Just away. Not
wanting to follow those before, but terrifed he is destined to repeat.
It is that dread-overwhelming that, unnoticed or perhaps ignored, push
him into that very fate. Desire for a future leads to destruction of
his past. Anger and disappointment for his examples, his closest,
become an engine to pull him away from them.

Linked together through bonds unbreakable, undeniable. Through a
distortion of emotion brought on through a slight in thei creation;
nothing mallable, only the concrete of their being altering the
abstract perception of reality.
