Insanity came out of the woman’s womb. Swirled around the neighbourhood a few times. Perched on a tree branch like a bird, ready to strike at the most peculiar and unpredictable moments.
Everything depended on the light in which things were bathed. They played cat and mouse to see how resilient she was. It always happened that she turned up like a bad penny, although she didn't pinch a single one.
Some people are more useful after death.
His mouth is stuffed with lies forever in the grave.
The penny dropped too loudly for her hypersensitive ears.

Creatures of the Night
~~August~~ Technicolor lights flash and pulse in accordance to the rumbling bass thumping from the towering speakers across the dark room. Bodies pack the central space upon a raised floor built from illuminating panels like sardines, bumping and grinding against one another like headless chickens. Light scatters through the club, reflecting off of the mirror ball that dangles from the ceiling. The lights become diffused by the faint sheen of smoke that floats through the room, spat out by the machines hidden in the DJ’s booth and the walls like a victim of Poe. The thick taste of sweat and revelry swims through the air, tinged with mixed drinks and bad decisions.
