Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart, that the storytellers and poets of #vss365 amaze me every single day. If you ever feel like your writing is not appreciated, it is.
It is.
‘No, listen to me.’ Chester stops when he realises he’s grabbed Kieran’s lapels in a reversal of a scene earlier. ‘This, all of it,’ he says, releasing his grip and motioning to the room. ‘This hour is not new. It’s happened at least twice before.’
Nobody worth anything ever
let a setback define them.
They used it as fuel.
Just as he had to.
All or nothing.
Nothing,
it turns

I am the sun
You’ll never feel
To darkness you must run
Any spectrum of light will kill
I am the #raredisease
DNA chose you
1 in a million receive
Only way out is through
I am the moon
Along with the stars
In our #aphotic garden you bloom
Glow from within not from afar

His eternal #commitment was to watch over her asleep in stone, as generations turned to dust outside.
Sitting in total darkness, a living shadow fed by love—forgotten by death, slowly forgetting his own name.
