she didn't know i was there, and i had been running for hours 
it had to be hell, where the hell was i?
in this strange place, one cannot wonder too much. 
we needed a clear mind, or both of us wouldn't live to see tomorrow.
wot time is it? 
we're only young once, so i greeted her "hail to the thief" 
and with icy blood in her mouth, she whispered something uncomprehendable 
i wrestled the cold blade farther into her frail lungs 
"tell me" 
the thief stared piercingly 
and as she rolled her eyes into her temple, shadows crept... 
(100 words!)
"my entry for a competition that required me 
to use the new radiohead album title 'hail to the thief' in a 100 word story" jun07


we've run out of time
and our world is coming to it's end
the rise and fall of kingdoms
so too must we fall away
no light at the end of the tunnel
just close your eyes
and be thankful for all that you were
be thankful.. to who?

i'm gonna get over it
gonna get over you
gonna get over myself
gonna get past everyone
gonna look past the past
deeper into now
kick away the scum
dirt on my sole
bute the dust under it
there is chaos in redemption
there are too many factors
light'em up and set them on fire
watch it burn
razed to the ground
sundered and brokem, wrecked, charred and to the bone
this beautiful noise all around
everywhere i turn, you're there
each time you turn around, i'm found
you seek me don't you?
as much as i'm seeking you
there is martydom to be found
and secrets to be revealed
and prissy angel, keep screaming
keep screaming the song you sing so wondrously
i'll try to bear it
all of it on my feeble shoulders
and if i crumble, then i fall
one last desperate plea
"no sense in lying down" jun28
