It lies dormant for a while then has a drastic rebirth.

Phobia Prayer

...Phobia? Irrational?
When was that the case?
Empire, art thou factional?
Fractioned by the chase?

Satisfaction? Where to find?

slips through your time and...

The Thing

as if a mangled perso...

Starfish-

...'Starfish!' said I, 'thing of a moray eel.'

To warn me about the sea turtle;
The cetacean coral reef cr...
