The Story

Anew- The Creature emerged itself out of the blankest, wettest wasteland and stared. It's empty glazed eyes gazed upward - Not prepared - It's eyes became filled. So outward and out further, the Sky began to scream. Telling stories of terror, the Beast would continue continuously. Not for pity- It just cherished the company. The Stars gave their greatest shine. And the Beast smiled- Spreading it's wings, the Stars smiled back. For it's black skin now was painted blue. Anew- The Man emerged himself out of his blankets, satin sheets, and dreams. His empty dazed eyes dazzled out the window - Not prepared - His eyes became dry.
