Born Hexed

Some of us weren’t born under stars.
We were born under warnings.
Whispers in hospital rooms. Raised eyebrows.
“Too intense.” “Too emotional.” “Too much.”

They said I was cursed.
 And they weren't wrong,
 just unimaginative.

I was hexed with sight;
The kind of sight that fogs mirrors.
That burns holes in photo albums.
That sees the trap behind the compliment.
The kind that sees through plastic smiles and poisoned promises.
Hexed with a heart that didn’t bend the way they wanted.
Hexed with rage. With beauty. With teeth.

They called it a problem.
I called it prophecy.

You see, when the world marks you as wrong from the start,
you learn to make your own rules.
You learn to turn pain into ink,
loneliness into armor,
and fear into a forge.

The truth is, the curse was never about bad luck.
It was about being too powerful for the mold.
Too wild for the leash.
Too real for their polite decay.

So yeah; I was born hexed.
But I broke the chains.
And now?

Now the curse wears lipstick.
And I’m the one writing spells in the margins.
How about you?

SOME NEWS:

🖤 Some government agency appears to be collecting information regarding Echo Noir and the cult. Keep an eye out for suspicious men in black, and leaked case reports. 

MORE NEWS:

🖤 Midnight Manifesto “Born Hexed” goes live 12 AM on Saturday 5/17/2025. Be sure to check it out for more messages in code, snippets from “Echo’s” diary, lore, curses, glitches, and philosophy. 

Q&A:

We're out of questions to answer. You should send some in, or should Echo start answering questions about you which you haven't even thought to ask yet?

Challenge:

Find a taboo space: old bridge, railroad tracks, a gated path, an abandoned lot, a corner you’ve always avoided.

Take a photo. Add a one-sentence caption as if it’s from your own Sick Sad Echo Report.

Example: "The vines didn’t want me there. The door agreed.”

@ Echo's social media, if you are (un)lucky... she might respond.

Poetic Curse:

May every insult they whispered become a storm they can’t outrun.
