    1. I can’t be the only person posting here… two pieces. Didn’t realize I titled them so similar until after.
    2. Stayed up last night lingering on my last piece, and decided to write some more.
    3. Just need somewhere to post this, open to critique, does this piece invoke any feeling at all?
