I haven’t much to say-

Fuck it.

I’ll try

To endeavor and to

Show you

My dilapidated rancor.

Open your eyes

I’ll open your mind.

This slender steel touch

In through your tears

Sculpting your mind.

I cannot say it.

So please,

Please,

Let me show you

This stained-glass abcess.

Fuck it!

You can’t see heads!

You can’t see ( Read more... )

The Trans-Am starts, purring softly to life; Mac has done so much work under the hood, I am not sure whether there is a combustion engine or an antimatter reactor down there.-I don’t bother to look anymore. MacLoreign is a true virtuoso with all things mechanical-or anything made of metal, for that matter.

I feel its warmth on my skin.
But I cannot see,
And that sight brings tears to my eyes.

The light begins to fade.
With the clouding of the skies

Fade to Grey

Once everything was beautiful.
Once everything was new.
Once everything was so grand.

“I know you don’t know me,” he said, stepping into the hazy, orange pool of light cast by the streetlamps, “but I ( Read more... )

Tossing away his heavy hopolon shield, he raced after the fleeing foes, some hidden stores of energy driving him onwards at a dead sprint.
