I could write a meaningful story with a meaningful message for you to carry with you into the future and beyond.

How about 5?

< 5. Would you be able to pull this off by then?

Close you eyes and count to 10 the nightmare creep back again,  this game of hide and seek.

In 2016 many people weep for those famous,we can no longer see. 1000 ways feeling can be

i'm sorry i turned you into monster in my writings
