Re: Requiem
Intriguing story. Is this going to be a utopia/dystopia story? Because that "Father" guy is sounding pretty sketch about now. Under typical circumstances, a teen who misspells their name would ...

Re: Poetry Isn't So Hard...

Re: Holy Ghost Rhapsody 1

Re: The Seagull
This is really interesting. I like the haughtiness of the seagull and all the imagery. Punctuation. You have a lack of it. I think it takes away slightly from the ...
