“And I knew her soul wasn’t something to take lightly. In a world where very little truth existed, her soul was a pariah, standing alone burning like a wildfire in my bones– a flaming crescent across pale midnight skies.”

Christopher Poindexter


She is like a shooting star.
She may be beautiful to look at, but inside she is burnt out and nothing more than a plain rock.
She soars through the night sky, begging, pleading just for a little attention.
She may have the spotlight on her for a few seconds,
But, it’s not going to take long before she tastes the cold, hard earth, as she transform into a meteorite.
But hey, didn’t a meteorite wipe out the dinosaurs?
Actually, looking at her, it would explain why.
I mean, is there anywhere she goes where she doesn’t bring destruction and devastation along with her?
