8). Deception

Deception. The lingering cold is engulfed by peculiarities; it pierces where you don't see, it examines the unseen. Under your river of falsehoods, the hidden no longer appears to be so hidden. However, you persist in your lie, secluding yourself unintentionally when exposed; thus, there you lay, your manufactured fallacy of deception exposed. You can no longer succeed if you keep your secrets to yourself. You sense something is wrong, as if you are unable to comprehend your own existence. What you feel is a tingling sensation; what you know is a feeling of bewilderment. But there is one thing that is guaranteed. You've completed your task.
