The Dark Party

Blinded by jewels, massive parties, and alcohol, The Man is gifted the opportunity to achieve whatever he wishes for. But what he truly wants is seemingly unattainable; a happy, quiet life with a girl he once loved. Amidst all of the flashing lights, exotic cars, and mounds of cash, The Man slowly realizes what has allowed him to be so successful, yet so far away from his true desires. No matter the mountains of wealth, the thrones of diamonds held up by a bed of gold, or the melting of perception which comes momentarily, the crown is composed of corrupted gems just begging to return to the earth. The Dark Party is a collection of poetry spanning four scenes. Each scene tells a narrative of The Man's terrifying adventure through psychological, financial, and emotional trauma, all of which were self-induced.
