When Stars Collide
When Stars CollideKeep breathing. Deep breaths. In for 5、 Hold. Out for 10、 Or is it in for 10, out for 5? Dammit.I can hear them in there. Polite platitudes, self assured laughter, casual indifference. But they’re waiting for me. Watching my every move for any sign of weakness. Any little oddity which might give me away.
