The story behind this piece is kind of strange, it’s about a really weird dream I had recently. The dream was that the heart of a boy was stolen by a witch, and it had to be returned to him. I can't for the life of me remember his name, but I was suddenly terrified beyond belief when I heard it. It's really all in pieces but I remember seeing the boy, and he was beautiful, almost angelic, with the saddest downhearted and absent look on his face, but a second later his expression changed just the slightest and he looked perfectly alert and completely mad, and I understood why I feared him. After his heart was stolen, he turned into a monster.

I can't really explain anything else about the boy, I think he is fairly young... 16 maybe? He looked that way. I know he looks girly, but I saw him as very beautiful before he turned mad. I gave him a locket in the shape of a heart, because even though I can't remember, I think part of him was still searching for his.
