    I remember the first time I saw him. The glint in his eyes malicious as he took my brother. I was nine at the time. Nine when he walked into his bedroom, grey flesh slowly peeling from his forearms and neck as he slowly crept towards my brother. He wanted him, wanted him badly. He took my brother by his neck and slowly opened his mouth to reveal a wide smile and tongues as thick as my forearm. My brother was too shocked to speak as his tongues slowly slithered around his eyes, slowly drawing them out.

Not when I’m so ...yProne door

    "Yes, ay, hahaha", "I don't need a beat to dance baby, life beats for me". Dancing in front of car lights, to the mufflers passing by tickled www.onedoor.ccwith faint cries the seasoned DJ galloped upon. We walk the street like ants in liquor and lust. Trust is blown in like a breeze. Intertwining with strangers, breathing with kindred spirits. Three ladies jumping out of an uber, tipsy full of matter, any matter. A matter of life and laughter, anger, joy all wound in a ball of matter. A male approach our lovely ladies to dance on the street. not wasting this opportunity to speak, communicating with rhythm...yProne door
