Do you hear it, pushing its way forward? Be still in the early dawn and attune to its faint whispers, its slow creep skulking up from a darkness that has lingered for too long.
It comes as hushed waves of heart beats from the depths of the Earth’s core, beneath barren fields of despair. It pulses...

Stormy nightthe cat's skittish,and rain lashes against the window panes.
Wind gusts force limbs to bendand scratch against the roof.

Today was our turn, mine and Princess O's, to do a three hour shift outside the grocery store selling GS cookies. Did you catch that, FOR 3 HOURS! We did this last year a couple times, so we knew what to expect. If it had been a normal day weather-wise. But it wasn't. It was freakin' windy and...
