"I must say, Dozer, you've truly outdone yourself this time around." said one of the many high-class canines attending this luxurious gala thrown by none other than Dozer himself. "If I may be so forward, what was the inspiration behind this meeting of the more gilded members of ...
Let's build the perfect girl.
Synthetic strands of beautifully woven, golden hair,
And compressed, aqua-blue eyes, deep, yet emotionless.
A factory-issue body, curvy and tall with a perfect complexion.
Perky, carmine cheeks with the slightest hint of freckles,
And a dash of overly-soft ski...
Please feed me your salacious lies, Oh Holy Father.
Tell me you absolve all my sins with your forked tongue.
Your serpentine mindset will eat away at those who pray to the God you've made.
So let me ask, if you're so devout, why'd you try to control your flock?
Silence your word...
I want you to choke down those lies you’re shoveling in your gullet.
The graceful summit of your own insanity is backed by broken mentalities.
Keep sipping that glass like it’s your master. Bend and obey the choir of disaster.
Silence your tongue. Don’t be salacious. Don’t perverse our wo...

The Devil’s Play Date
Prologue
Samuel’s hands were shaking. This is the point of no return, he thought as sweat beaded on his low forehead. He had all the right materials, read all the creepy, Pagan-esque books that described exactly how to do it. So why was this so hard to do? Samuel wiped ...
When you told me you were leaving,
I sat in a deafening silence for hours.
My mind was overrun with discomfort
As my hands tried to wipe away the endless stream of sorrow.
My dreams were invaded by warm memories of that night.
The first time I saw your seraphic smile.
The first time I talked...
Don't deny the feeling within.
Let it burn its way through the skin.
Flint and steel can char through the bone.
Scraping away like pumice stone.
Synapses show through billows, cold.
Tendencies to show in the unknown.
It all seemed to happen lightning fast.
Together, broke apart, how ...
Hello, Mr. Machine.
Let me present you with something
That will fry your circuits.
You wake early every morning
To the sonorous songs of birds
Saying hello with their tweets and chirps.
After washing some breakfast down your throat
With a mug of Folgers,
You kiss Mrs. Machine goodbye, and...
Essence burst from my heart
When our arms met in embrace.
Why was it torn apart?
These memories seem to fade.
These tears won’t bring back time.
The symbolic sign of your presence left my soul tonight.
