“Are all the dead just chilling or walking around?” I ask Leo as we hold hands and walk downtown. His hand feels equal parts hot and cold, like an icy hot. Leo is the grim reaper. I didn’t even know that the grim reaper was a legit thing two days ago.

But my thoughts are going crazy on why there are so many dead people just looking around and walking slowly. And Leo is incredibly hot, but I shoul...

Victory almost tastes like a tart fruit. It’s refreshing like the relief of getting to this point, that it’s all over. The sweetness is the pure joy and elation of success. But it’s the tartness that lingers on the palate, a sour reminder of the pain, losses, and sacrifices it took to reach victory....

Scents of new and old

Smooth caress across, behind

Heaviness Unfolds

Adventure awaits

Mysterious, Magical

Past, present, future

There might not be dogs catching frisbees or humans throwing volleyballs when it is dark and cold. During the day, there isn’t much clothes or shoes here either. And when it’s raining, you won’t find anyone here at all.

But more than that, this is a place where ...

Standing here in front of you, I won’t beg for life. I know you have all the power and will choose whatever you want to do, regardless of how I feel. I know you don’t care.

But I also know you don’t benefit from my death. In fact, it is a burden for you. In order to keep my death a secret, you’ll have to clean up my body and the crime scene. That will take time, and you don’t have much time.

He tried not to be too eager. She was obsessed with waterfalls. And he was obsessed with her.

“This is the most beautiful, most astonishing, thing I’ve ever seen.” She looked at him with gratitude and what looked like desire.
