I hate this place. Mother told me I’m being too harsh. I know better. This place was created out of fire and brimstone, I’m sure of it. Where else on this God forsaken planet can I go? It’s as if the entire world is brainless. The Filing was yesterday. I went Left. At first, I … More Good & Evil: Chapter 5
Well he sure doesn’t sound happy, does he? Rightfully so, I may add. Not that my opinion matters, of course, but it’s there nonetheless. But I digress.

Zealots desired to bless my soul Zilch is my energy left Zoned out, these odes have taken their toll Zoo in my mind, though ’twas deft Zip up this project, my brain can now rest Zero letters now lie ahead Zephyrs now soothe me, caressing my chest Zodiac today – time for bed
