Reality
Truth

ConnectedI sit on my chair all alone, with a string tied to my finger. It's ruby red color strikes out against my pale skin. The string is all I have left. Alone am I, nowhere to turn. The people I knew are all gone, painted a different color than before. Only my string is left. My string connects me to another world another life, much the same, yet so different of my own. I can hardly get there, yet I'm always living in the same state. I press covers against me to ward off the cold, but it won't help, the cold is on the inside. I feel another shiver creep down my back, praying for his good safety. He is gone now, and all I have is this thin red string, connecting me, to wherever he may be now. I feel heavy droplets hit my hand and hear the clicks it makes as it splatters along my keyboard. I only wish he were here longer, I only wish I could have loved him more. Our souls entwined for a short period of time, lie apart separated by grief.Connected by ~violet---stone

True EscapeTune your ears out to the world,True Escape by ~violet---stone
Pretend you are not there.
Focus your eyes on their words,
Yet see with your minds eye,
Images much prettier.
Let reality be whisked away,
Replaced with a light a fluffy fancy.
Feel the softness and the breeze,
Preserved forever in your mind.
Sniff the light sweet smell,
Instead of dulling dust and dirt.
Taste the remains of fancy memory,
While reality sets back in.
The words have stopped,
Sounds return.
Breeze is gone.
Dust engulfs your nose.
Reality has set back in.
You wait for fancy to set back in,
But Reality blinds your light.
There is no true escape.

RealityConfined to four walls called reality,Reality by ~violet---stone
Can you see past those walls?
Past those walls is the universe,
Where the dreams lay for us all,
Don't escape these four walls,
For another confined room,
Break these walls.
See into the universe,
Into endless possibility,
Don't walk out a door,
It will just lead to another,
Break the walls.
Stare into starry sky with open eyes,
Can you see the dreams?
Everyone confined to a room with no way out.
Break the walls.
There you will find each other,
Wandering aimlessly about,
Picking up particles of dreams,
Dreams that are theirs.

Clockwork Secrets: Chapter 1"That'll be 60 copper, sonny"Clockwork Secrets: Chapter 1 by ~Tokosha
"Um, excuse me?"
Eldon stood there, confused. What was "copper"? The ore? Who would carry THAT around? Or was it the Livanian currency?
He was paying for passage to Livania for the Queen ordered him to go there. He didn't know why nor what for. All he knew is he is to go to the town of Taswick and "his curiosity will do the rest." A bit confusing to be honest. But he has to do what Queen Aria says. She WAS the one who took care of him while he was a child. Odd enough though he doesn't care for his missing mom. As shallow as that may be why should he care if she left him? Besides, he was much happier with Aria. Even though she is a mermaid and cannot leave her marble pool, he still loved her like a son would to his mother. He feels no trauma. And frankly, he doesn't care.
The Livanian captain stopped his thoughts with a mocking laughter "Ha, I would have never expected a Unition to know about Li
