Dusk's Delirium
Jacinda and I rolled towards each other and knew that our plan to sleep in had been squashed. We were still on our regular time of waking slightly before the sun rose to get in a workout before our workday began.

I nodded towards the dock and she smiled. We sipped that luxurious liquid and took the blanket from the back of the couch and headed for the end of the dock.

Truth: Her Unheard Tale
Air never felt fresher than today, how it makes my light hairs float in the air. It makes me feel light as I walked out after living in prison for three years. Nobody came to visit me, was it because of guilt or embarrassment. Maybe denial is the answer.I looked around and took deep breaths as if I have brought back to life, but I know this feeling will soon fade when I reacwww.onedoor.cch home. I don't wanna go back there where I was being held for imprisonment, and nobody defended me. They didn't even try to fake it. I think of options, places where I can stay until I get a job and get my life together, b...
