Ryan sat resting his head on the glass, his breath misting and obscuring the fast-flowing hedges outside of the window. He retreated into his world of splayed hair and hot breath while the other kids on the bus shouted and laughed, shoved and teased.

Cleaning Up
Daniel grew up on the greats: King, Herbert, Saul. As a child, he imagined there was a new, horrible thing waiting for him around each corner -- a prospect that terrified almost as much as it thrilled him. He and some buddies went through an urban exploration phase, scouring the map for abandoned warehouses and condemned mansions, crumbling government buildings and half-lit hospitals. They had fun with it, their backpacks rattling with flashlights and cans of spray paint as they bumped their bikes over railroad crossings.

it was all just a dream
I had a dream, a beautiful dream, and he was in it, he was. I don’t even know who he was or what his name was. All I knew was that he looked familiar, his touch felt familiar, his gaze felt familiar and I felt so at home around him. I would kill to have this dream again or have him appear in more of my dreams again, but it hasn’t happened as of yet. Well un-ironically, one can still dream. I remember it all so vaguely, it started with me sleeping, probably dreaming inside a dream and then i heard slow footsteps approaching me and i felt my heart do somersaults in my chest as i felt someone come closer and closer until the presence stood by my bed, then sat on it by my side and i felt like my heart stopped, i felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and this presence started to shake me, i mustered up all the courage I had and turned to face it or rather, him.

Sins of the Reaper - 7
When the sun began to pierce the bare and spindly branches of the surrounding trees, I still had not slept. After relieving myself, I returned to the warmth of the poncho liner even though I knew I should keep moving. Instead, I stared at my surroundings with listless, unseeing exhaustion, my thoughts returning helplessly to the bakery where I would never toil again.
