Why don’t you grab your car and we can take a drive? Out to the edge of everything we’ve ever tried. We could sit and watch the stars explode, or just keep driving until we run out of road. C’mon now, let’s play the game. All these people all act the same. Let’s … Continue reading Legendary

Victory
I’ll take care of you. I will shelter you when you need me to. I won’t hinder you. I will nurture you and I will improve every day in some little way. All the care you’ve shown, more than I’ve ever known. Seen how far you’d go, made me feel at home, in a world … Continue reading Victory
