At the time I woke up on this day prior to the noon hour, I placed my fingers upon the corners of my eyes and massaged away the feelings of tiredness as well as the detritus of a night’s sleep, My eyes caught the star about which our earth travels rising above the horizon, beginning a new day. And at this very point, my mind unexpectedly alerted me to the fact of your absence. ---

Oh, and because I just thought of this one… Upon the seat fitted with a rest for the seated individual’s spine and shoulders, a tartan coat of viridian hangs. It appears to be the very image of a period in time in that place without end. Those who gave birth to me and cared for me certainly expected a great deal and took a certain pride in my future. But Mother has lost her sanity after her beloved child was murdered after several other youths pursued one another in their vehicles. It was not the fault of her child, as he was merely in the same location at an inappropriate hour and not, unfortunately, the one holding the firearm. Terribly lachrimose. ---
