Forgive Me | 9-20-07
Being a rebel was easy to Tristan before. But it's different this time. She doesn't understand. She couldn't. It's just not the same.

The Potion | 8-14-08
Humanity is a pitiful race. We claim faith in life after death, but when death strikes those we love, we refuse to accept it. Now that science has progressed so far, it's clearer than ever.

The Coward or the Hero | 3-20-09

The Scene | 11-11-06, poorly written, please excuse my adolescent emo-ness

Lost | 11-28-06, a lot of emo-ness to palate in this one also

One to Another | 8-9-07
