Land ahoy!’Cries rise from them allRiding over cresting waveWe glimpse the horizon’sContinue reading “Sunday Update 2”
What I Hate About MBP

The Scar
She keeps moving, too fast. Can’t catch up. Too quick. The black curtains hide her, the floor strewn with cushions, I can’t seem to make headway. She has a mask. It doesn’t suit her face. She keeps staring at me but always just as she disappears behind another curtain, disappearing behind another shade of darkness.Continue reading “The Scar”
