Crumbling Love
It looms in the distance, more of an eyesore than anything useful. I barely notice it anymore. The once red barn is now grey, the rotten wood exposing gaps in the structure. For my entire life, I've been told the place is unsafe. It's forbidden, though many other things fall into the category. My family is overly protective and overly religious. From a young age, I knew of the sins of the flesh, knew of things that would cast my soul into eternal damnation. Now, I'm not so confident of it all.

A Shelter in the Storm
My eyes are closed, but I am awake, listening to the sound of sobs fill the makeshift shelter. There is a sick comfort in the sound, familiarity from the nightly sound. Everyone cries when they first arrive. My own first few nights after the storms, I did nothing but cry. The place was too new, the loss too great. We had been warned for years our ways as humans would lead to the downfall of the human race. It led to far more destruction than we ever expected.
