Глава 2224: Happy New Year!

Forgettable? … Regrettable? … Commendable?

No. Perhaps. Sometimes, maybe, we try.

Scarred, grizzled, scared; if lucky, we survive.

Apparently, that was our big mistake.

Chapter 122: Bez Zaglaviya

Sometimes it is nice

to hear silence,

embrace nothingness.

I drink it in,

feeling refreshed,

until my moment is shattered,

as always it seems,

by some idiot person or dog,

exuberant in their self-importance,

existential in their offensive noise.

Chapter 121: Like (Broken) Clockwork

must be done again.

… Banal “joys” apparently

never end.

Winter Peace And Stillness

Winter peace & stillness.

Like most things people say,

it’s a myth.

And *how* it mocks,

upends your sense of right,

kicks you in the guts,

and spits in your face.

Like good intentions,

other people’s actions

make what should be

a lie.
