Pink, the ‘girl’s’ colour
Like bubblegum in my hair
My first hair dye colour
Blue, like the day’s sky
It replaced the Joker’s green
Relieved my poor mum
Purple, tone of grapes
I wear it in my hair now
It has since faded
The bi flag colours
One day I will wear them all
They’ll know me anew
An accident is
What I’ll swear in the presence
of rude homophobes
But the truth remains
My hair will be the bi flag
Three colours in stripes
Mistake me for the
Fair folk of northern legend
I’ll still be bi, though
A bi faerie, with
Wings that stretch across the flag
Beautiful, I’ll be
About the Creator

Captain's Log
Note from the author: This piece takes place in a universe where Pan American survived past its closure date, and well into the future. Global warming, and most other issues, have also been solved at this point, but are not important within the story's context. It should also be noted that this was originally a university assessment piece I submitted earlier this year, but has since been edited to create a slightly more believable story.

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.”
