He was tapping my shoulder, wa
He was tapping my shoulder, waiting for me to wake up. Annoyed, I opened my eyes and saw his emotionless face, stern in its message. I turned to the window, looking at the road beside me. There was a small decrepit house not to far in the distance, its shingles painted an odd purple colour, chipping and fading. The roof tiles were destroyed but those that remained, were repaired. The door was just slightly taller than I was with the windows being half the size of the doorway. I walked to the old house, surrounded by an overgrown lawn riddled with dandelions accompanied by grass that reached my knee. I looked back at the car I just left

The ride home was rather solit
The ride home was rather solitary, neither of us saying anything to the other. From years of being locked away, I forgot how to interact with other humans. As the ride went on, I think that I even forgot how to speak. I turned to John, asking how long it had been since I was committed with my eyes. As if he could read me so well, he answered seven years. Seven years away from everything. Seven years. I closed my eyes not wanting to know what did happen. I had had a miserable life, but none so much as what I was facing now. I was in face of the prospect of time's wrath.

There were cruel days in that
There were cruel days in that house. The flickering lights, the horrible food and the overall anhedonia was just terrible. It was no shock that a lot of these women were in here for five, even eight years without any sign of release. But I believe I was a mistake. I had been wrongly committed. I don't know why, but I was and trying to get out of here seemed hopeless and impossible. I lost track of the days, months and, if it had been, years. Because of that, because of this wrongful commission, I have gone mad. If I knew at least someone, as I saw some of the others did, I wouldn't have gone mad, or, at least, not the extent I did. I
Chapter III: Shin-Ra Manor
(Vincent's View)
Lucrecia and I were in the garden out back under the tree she always loved. It was huge and perhaps ancient, but it was a comforting place for shade. The grass beneath us was always dry and the dirt was mild. I laid down the little blanket that she brought from inside Rufus' room and placed the picnic basket beside us once we sat. I pulled out two sandwiches and offered one to her. She denied it, saying she just wasn't hungry. That'd happened a lot lately and I figured it was from the new project that she had been involved in. Her face grew solemn, that lonely look I hated on her face but
Chapter II: Nibelheim
When we went back, the whole town was rebuilt again. I didn't understand how when we left, he set it to flames using that magic of his. It looked like how I always knew it to be. I wanted to ask him, but I didn't bother, since he probably didn't know himself. I took a slighting glance at his face to try and sense some humanity in it, but of course, he proved to be some sort of anti-apathetical jack-ass that he'd always been. I turned away, allowing myself to believe that somewhere in his heart, there was remorse. He walked through town with the arrogant stride that was so natural to him never once making another
I remember the April rain on New York. It was something I could never forget. It would be like forgetting your favourite ice cream or forgetting your favourite childhood game. It just isn't something that you forget. I remember, as a child, sitting by the window of our fifth floor apartment on Mulberry Street, watching the rain quietly pour down almost every day on the inhabitants of the street. Whenever it rained, the merchants scattered under used tarps, covering their goods as best as they could, their spirits still strong even under the groggy cool weather. Some decided to head for home, unable to afford a tarp, hoping to reel in more on
"When the rain patters
The children scatter
And the cries to their mothers
Are smothered by warm arms
That wrap and cradle the woes away.
But what about those who have no mothers?
Those who have nothing but themselves?
They have nothing.
When the rain patters
The rain is there for them
When the children scatter
They stand there alone
When the arms smother
The silence deafens.
Though you are alone, child, do not fear:
When they have to face the world in all its terror
You will be prepared.
God has blessed you though in strange ways."
"Little rabbit,
You could run away to the wide west
I will still find you.

Chapter I: The Forgotten City
Somehow, I'd gotten myself stuck in this weird mess. I didn't know anything about Shinra or anything involved with it, only that the Mako reactor on the mountain was built when my great grandmother came here from Wutai. My family wanted a peaceful existence here, away from the emerging war happening at Wutai over the make reactor. Of course, it'd be my luck to get swept into what I now know as the fall of Shin-Ra.
I woke up early morning with cold water hitting my face in slow drips. This has happened to me before but usually because I was underground and the cave water liked my face... a lot. When I ope
He held me up as I took a gasp of air so suddenly. I hacked imaginary air that I really didn't have as I wished these fits would stop. I felt so weak; the living air drowned out of me. I hung onto his arm, clutching on to it so I wouldn't fall back. He held onto me just as tightly, the other arm wishing it was free to hold me. I let my head fall back, fixing my gaze on the grey granite ceiling. I was ashamed to look at him. I knew he was disappointed in me. I murmured a few lyrics under my breath and I turned a slight gaze to him. I was afraid of him, honestly, but if I didn't feel twice as bad His stern glare kept steady on
Alone in the dark
There's voices that crowd over me
Tell me every move
Everything I do is wrong
I don't want to leave me
But I want this to end
I'm stuck between the walls
And I'm not even blind
Someone save me because it's scaring me
I'm writing on the walls
And screaming in the ceilings
Scrawling red and wishing dead
Save me, spare me some pity, please
Offer a dime for medication or tea.

What Does 'Asylum' Mean?
I wore my fuzzy socks for the same reason I remembered home. It was mostly for moral support.
They didn't match my outfit at all, striped blue and purple as they were. It looked as if I’d skinned James P. Sullivan himself. But no, I wasn't a killer. Not just yet. I’d have a lot of time to consider it, it seemed. It was really quiet in the new place where I lived. The walls were soft, and nobody came to talk to me anymore.
That is, besides the people in my imagination. Sometimes, I think they’re real, but they’re mostly just in my head. That’s why I never liked 3D movies. You can never tell what&rsqu
I'm so proud of myself!!!!!!!! I learned to write sheet music in a month!!!!! Of which I'll be selling here and on ebay or wherever if anyone wants it! In a week, I'll put up some links for multiple songs, including the Pixies' "Where is My Mind?" on the viola, violin and even the ocarina. I won't do guitar because one could just look it up. I'm working on the piano, so that'll come soon!!!!
With my total withdrawal into my music, I've taken a break because of killer allergies and re-kindled my love of Final Fantasy while finding a new love of Rammstein, one of THE best bands I've heard in my life.  Since anything I extremely love must be recognised somehow, I've been trying to make a fan-fiction out of Rammstein and FF VII, the FF game I'm currently playing.  I know, I have too many fan-fics, but if I were to post all my FF fan-fics on this site...
Hey, I know it's been a while since I've been on and I know some people have been worried but I'm here to tell you I'm okay and I'll be here a lot more often again. I was just in a bit of a sticky situation with friends, solving my own demons and trying to help other friends while simultaneously trying to keep my own sanity. Everything's fine now and I thank you for the concern! In pieces, I will come by and explain the dilemma, piecing together something I've been meaning to for a while, but I now have the sufficient material to create it. Behold... THE PROSPEKT'S POPPYFIELD!!!!!!
Oh, also get used to Mike the Cookie more often even tho
