I stand motionless, with emotion's turbulent echo piercing my eardrums and my heart.

I gaze back across the years, over pages left empty in a diary I never took from the shelf, wishing the pen that is now dried up could rewrite a history that was blissfully ignorant of its own insignificance.

I lie on a bed of dull nails, humming the tune to a love song I never wrote.

I paint my future on a blank canvas with a brush devoid of any color.

I watch as the coming dawn slowly strangles the life out of the spent night...

    Oh dear, Christopher. I hope it's not autobiographical! I love 'blissfully ignorant of its own insignificance'.

    Thanks, Neville. Written during one of my "dark" periods, which seem to occur more and more frequently of late.

    Sorry about that, Christopher. The cure might either be Vitamin D or writing more Jake adventures, which are excellent.

    Thank, Neville. Already churning the next Randolph story in my head.

    Thank you so much, Drew. The catharsis of writing is unparalleled in the field of therapy.
