no one wins in the snapshot all those tense muscles that petrify in situ efforts to move - ineffectual where is the finish line? and what's the point? this journey is featureless the mode of transport stifling so I try and outrun it blood rushes through my veins momentarily yet here I am - still - no before or after just the...

Premium Member The Double Secret - Magritte 20 minute draft
firstly notice the neatly combed hair arms and hands would be needed for that I detect something amiss the breadth of those shoulders not those of a keen swimmer how location and the individual attributes conflict whilst beauty is only skin deep I smell a rat when skin isn't skin deep I'm in no position to judge a head full of metal...
