...and I'm pretty sure I've shared this part before, but let's just start over because there's more coming. Skin Such anguish I feel, such sorrow. Heartache, I am, that I break my own flesh and feel discontent with the world, so I hide beneath my quivering wing in hopes to block the malevolence from my… Continue reading Skin: an Excerpt from Dusk of Death

...make me giggle, and I'll tell you why... Every time someone calls in a copier or printer because it's making "loud noises," I have to stifle a giggle because all I hear is this... . Now, I'm on vacation and not even awake yet when you read this. Be jealous. Have a lovely day. *grins*

All Hail…
...for I am the Victorian goth queen. Okay, so there's this guy at work whom I remember when he first started. He was goth and now he looks Amish. I'm not kidding.
