A Nightcafe Creation By The Author

You murdered me with your axe, and then you slowly skinned me and started to cut up my body into the thinnest of possible slices. You gave me no warning, and I saw the less precious parts of my anatomy smouldering on your open fire.
That hurt a lot, but you were not finished. you then got out your tools and started to decorate my skin slivers with the blackest of your inks.
Then you sewed the bits back together, bound them, and that's what I am now to the world.
I was a tree. Now I am your book.
