The Sea Speaks To Me • Opuss № I

Crushes • Opuss № I

Peeking through the cracks, I clearly saw the key I desperately needed. It glinted with rusty freedom. In addition, lying down like a guard dog, was the Koruk, all lean muscle and shiny scales. I shut my eyes tightly. Every muscle went …

Just the beginning of an idea. A young man woke up with a thick haze clouding his sight. His body felt pulverized, his head walloped. He tried blinking the blurriness away, then realized it wasn't his eyes, but his surroundings that we…
