video post
[The video starts dark with low pitched snickers and constant shushing. When the hand pulls away from the lens, it focuses on a small woman with dark brown hair sitting against a tree with her knees held up to her chest, an iPod in her hand. Her head is turned away, but a voice somewhere between less raspy Janis Joplin and a less confident Grace Slick is coming from her direction. It comes in and out of tune, her voice not meant for singing. She has already started the beginning stanza and is working on the chorus of Hurt. It might seem as if she is just singing to the music on her device, but she stops every few lines, nods, then continues on. It's like she's talking to someone, but no one else is on that side of the lens.
What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
When the woman stops singing, someone from behind the lens catches her attention. Her head flips around to show wide eyes. In a split second, something hits the camera and it falls to the ground, blacking out. A few swears slip out and then everything goes silent.
A few hours later, the video finds itself on the internet, much to the annoyance of Bethany.]
