[WP] After 13 long years, your dad finally returns from the grocery store from picking up milk. What's strange is that he seemed to look the same as he did 13 years ago, down to the clothes and all.

[WP]“We burn the present for the sake of a brighter future, then act surprised when all that’s left is ash.” | [Poem]
We burn the present
It's glowing alure
And tell ourselves
"For a brighter future"
And as the fire heats
It's never ceasing glow
Ignoring the smoke
It's ever steady flow

The world will be awash
For all will have been burnt
