Hot iron links burn through my skin like paper,
Smoke hugging my lungs too tight.
Angels unheard songs of nature,
Fear too close to take flight.
The sloppy jaws of fate come later,
Corrupted thoughts cloud my sight.
It feels too late for a saviour,
As the moon stretches over the night.
Soft, hazy visions, gone forever,
Lost flames I can’t ignite.
Boundless, lost, finger at the trigger,
The whispers take no respite.
Strained rusty buckets running over,
No passion driving any fight.
A steep fall for the dictator,
No match for her great height.
Sour juice from the fruits of labour,
Venom poured direct from spite.
Punctured hearts from twisted traitors,
Useless is my foresight.
Manoeuvres disguised as favours,
Lies exposed straight and outright,
No use in looking for indicators,
It’s too late to save her.

Realisation Invasion.
CHAPTER 1 I’ve never gotten used to the darkness in here. The intoxicating smell of the anaesthetic as it squeezes through the vents with a subtle hissing sound that fills the otherwise empty space inside this chamber. The clamminess in my hands are catching the cool breeze from the vents, contradicting the nervous heat growing at the back of my neck. I know it's starting when a bright light fills my vision as everything comes into focus. The primary colours first, before the atoms start to realign to look like blocks of furniture. A soft, familiar voice booms through the speakers: “Your final exercise... Visit the supermarket and purchase one packet of noodles”.

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”
