LJ: Break Me

Why do I wear a mask? Because I have to.

Because I swore on my parents' grave that I would save this city from the evil that lived and bred within it. And that was my life's work for over a decade. One by one, the ones who rise fell again, brought down by none other than I, the one they call Dark Knight.

But it's all over. I finally met my match, and ended up with a broken back for my trouble. Now, here I lay, wondering if I'll ever walk again, breathing oxygen.

One mask earned me another.

With a tip of the hat to Bob Kane and all who followed.
