This plague was not righteous, not even close.

I could never get used to the sight of the Astarran night patrol. I try not to make eye contact and do my best to avoid confrontation... I cannot help but wonder what these servents of Astarr really are. Were they once men, loyal to the cruel overlord and turned into machines? Or could they be our country's fallen warriors, brought back from the dead to serve against their will? The thought that one of these ghoulish machine men could have once been my husband haunt my dreams at night.

Can she obliterate his heart? Can she shatter his dreams? Yes, she most certainly can. Crawling..he begged, desperate..he pleaded, only to fall deeper into the void, slowly suffocating in his misery. With a lifeless thud, he hits bottom, there he is left mangled and pitted. With each passing hour, he grows hollow, cold and broken. He shudders at the idea of soldiering on, he is scarred for life, forever longing that which he cannot have. The road ahead is most torturous and bleak. His spirit is numbed to the core, he is discouraged to no end. A piece of his being is forever taunted and starved by her memory. Drained is his life, crippled is his soul, spent is his resolve, today -forever- ended. A heartbreak so tragic it echos across time, leaving a diseased and jaded shell of a man in it's wake.

uh

i hope they feel better soon.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

His face could use more highlights I think.

I played and played and played and played and stopped.
