Splitting Skull

Through ceaseless fabrications woven by the hunted
Channels narrow leading to Dante's peak
This cursed soul claws at earth in hope...
...of eluding misery destined upon her...
...as agony whisks through her...
...and rapes her mind with sorrow
A slave to pain, she breathes deep...
...while torture's storm settles throughout her being
And as her skull splits in two...
...she sees the fleeting world...
...through a veil of tears

LMFAO!!!! Your author's not caught me off guard that s**t is funny. Not your headache,just reading that after reading your what I think is a bad a*s dark writing and than your A.N. You have skills Raven to be able to just right s**t off the top of your head like that. Much respect....aaww s**t my heads hurting now

I hate s****y headaches like that don't you? I had one of those while on a train heading back to Baltimore, from Newark. Mostly it was cold related but the metroliner I was on had begun breaking down in Boston, and was moving 25 miles per hour under the orders of Amtrak management. However I did get a nice view of Downtown Philadelphia for about 40 minutes while the mechanics were fixing the main engine that had lost power. But I wouldn't say that experience on the train turned me against train travel forever. I actually prefer trains to airplanes just because I like the view of the trees and the waterways along the east coast. Anyway you have delivered another excellent piece of writing. Headaches are catalysts for writing and other forms of art times anyway. Bravo again Raven.
