There was once a fresh stick of gum. She was selected out of the pack of her gum family at just the right time. With a pocket stuffed with promises. Full of flavor and natural color, she brought joy and pleasure to her environment - filling the place with mouthwatering pleasantries. But far sooner than she thought, [...]

Shadow Self
It seems like my true self, this inner kid, has been carried off by my Father. They are out on adventures in the wilderness, the son being taught skills and training for a new life. He is being shown a whole new world I am not a part of. Though we are the same, there is [...]
