The Weight of it All
Fragile hearts and minds remind us we are alive
Don't make me ask the question, "What if?" I would go insane with those two words for the rest of my life.
You are hurting and in this pain we share. For as long as your lungs draw breath I can shoulder the burden.
If you find yourself wandering in the dark, allow me to guide you back to the light with this dying torch.
Allow me to carry you to the warmth of home, not find you in the cold six below.
So long as your heart draws blood, there is hope when we suffer together.

Silent Forest
The forest was once a peaceful place, where the snap of twigs and chirping of birds were the only things to be heard. But then came the thunderous footsteps and machines that drowned out these natural sounds. The machines with blackened armour rumbled through the forest scaring the critters away. Fires blazed and the forest saw its first glimpse of war.

Pride and Prestidigitation
The day an orc wizard summoned me to his dimension started like any other: I ate breakfast with my parents. I dipped my toast in the silky yolk of my poached egg. Just as I sank my teeth into the delicious combination, Mother said, “Really, Mary? Have you no consideration for my poor nerves? That crunching, crackling sound is so jarring!"
