Stranded In Limbo

Encased in darkness
neither here there anywhere,
locked in misery
a reminder each day
the devil keeps his promise.

I see you won in the contest as well. Congratulations, and I forgot to ask you about the Being Human show. I just saw the last show of the season, where the vampire guy gets put into the earth by the woman who hates him for dating her daughter. Is that the last show forever?Did you see further episodes that still have not come to the US??
