That never touched it,

 

And lets dead men live forever?

Damien is a queer student and poet.  His notebooks have haiku and sketches scrawled in the margins.  He’s known for finding “cursed” photos and documents; or, more accurately, they find him.  Sometimes in the middle of the night.  He lives with his boyfriend, his cat, and ten thousand fish.
