“We’re sisters,” Nova answers sharply, not liking his behavior at all. “Oh that makes sense.”

“Excuse me?” His face p...

Darkness and despair.

The cries of the wicked are similar to the cheers of a crowd, after witnessing a game winning goal.

As waves crash against a wall of glass. The shattered windows spread like an infection into the hearts of all people.

For those coming from a cold world. The eternal black flames seem like a warm

Hug

for those without love, the burning and bruises are the only sensation ...

Everyone loves me.

Here I am, a kind server at a local diner that everyone frequents in a small little town. Dressed in a dress and apron, I smile and offer you the best hospitality there is.

Been coming for a while? I know what you like and dislike. I’ll give you what you want before you know what that is. I’ll joke with you and give you such a pleasant time here. Such a sweet, kind girl they ...

You don’t make deals with the man, his life has only begun

The man is to be feared,

For reasons soon to be made clear

As he looks to the light,

It is no longer the sun, the man and the moon stare into each others souls

The man is in fright

The moon is in fight...
