Chapter One - Stranger
_The warm drape of twilight has descended on this little town of ours, painting everything in a sleepy glow you'd be lucky to find anywhere else; you can practically hear the yawns slink from every house you pass, taking off into the sky like dandelion...
Starlight
The uneven, oddly rhythmic snap of the campfire's tongues lapping against the firewood carries through the thick night air, the quiet hum of crickets buzzing in my ears. The vibrant dance of orange and red seems to hypnotize me, occasionally prompting...
Chapter Eight - Rain's Hands
The gentle pit pat of rain dances atop my umbrella, the distinct slosh of water beneath my boots accompanying me as I commute to the apartment complex I had found myself in four days prior. The previously majestic statues now seemed to be painted in a...
