I wish I could tell you And have you understand That you are you, And I am me.

I laid dormant for years By your side, if...

Premium Member Roach Or Locust
Whatever it is it likes to exercise on its back said Mr. Will. We both stared at the creature whose wings were lying still. The creature’s legs were going back and forth in triple time. A giant roach or a locust, whatever it is, it is scary said a mime. We watched the bug roll over and do some...

Microlight
Microlight When they appeared, we were like, “What …the?” motorcycles dangling from multi-coloured wings, animated comic book scene blond wisps racing at leisure in deliberate mid-morning breeze rainbow spectrum gone haywire, in the azure June sky they were flaunting metallics, Kariba breams in fish eagle talons. They hovered above, the whole school was set in a frenzy nerds set books aside, watched...
