Pieces
A Story by Xanthous Crow
And
there he was, on the precipice, feet on the very edge. Before him
sprawled out the world, a place of misty silvers, oceanic blues and pine

hung heavy in the air, like the ashen weight of broken promises. Up on
the desolate peak, above the world and it's petty troubles, the petty
people, he vanished from view.
