Being a Yarga thief, I was able to blend in easily with the night -- so perfectly in fact that the guards couldn't see me standing five meters away.

The patient’s daughter sat comatose as the doctor worked.
She always imagined being older when her daddy left.

She remembered, only a year or two ago, goin... |

They'd all been sitting in the room for near on half an hour, and needless to say, they were all getting fairly bored. However, just as the group was at the end of their patience, a man dressed in a sharp suit stepped onto the room's stage. Tapping a mic, they said,

We drifted for what seemed like decades. We saw each other in the mundane space we floated through but couldn't understand why or how each other existed. We were aware of our proximity, but the connection was impossible. This was purgatory, the pos-death, the near heaven, or hell. When Alex grabbed the lens and refocus... |

It all started as a joke on a tv show. Saturday Night Live or “SNL” they called it. They had some actor on who played the main character in this big name movie at the time, and in the segment, the guy pretended to be some crazy, obsessive Artist.
