While the fires burn

While the fires burn And the oceans rise The rich man waits To claim his prize

Working for tomorrow Buried by the past We wish to be treated as men And yet act like we’re mechanical ~Just a little smash poetry for the day. Been working a little hard at the real world job, so I’ve been tired a lot. Still making time for story writing-wish there were more hours inContinue reading “Mechanical”

Feeling adrift

I’m still alive, in case everyone is wondering. Been working on the new Tom and Vince story, but it’s taking a real long time. And when I say “long” I mean LOOONG. It is a challenge writing what is basically a season one ending to this series. Trying to introduce new characters, but I amContinue reading “Feeling adrift”

We all want to be heroes (And a bearing of the soul)
