Did you feel a pull from those
Inked scribbles that
Swept you out beyond the
Tattered fabric of
Reality? The ones that called you to
Adventure in worlds tucked between
Crisp pages and sturdy spines?
To forget even the harshest existence by
Immersing yourself between the covers
Of the book within your grasp. Yet
No one notices youβve left this world behind.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, Kelly. So many truth bombs and just so poetically beautiful!
