Something Special

Lately, yes means no, up is down.

A Day in the Life

The anticipation is only surpassed by the tar-drenched smoke cascading into desperate lungs that wait like baby birds for mama to regurgitate their morning fix, as the evil ogre nicotine oozes into each and every panting cell and tricks his weary brain into thinking that everything is better. He dev...
