Blood Art

And as her world came crashing down, she closed her eyes to paint.

Nightly Murders

A long awaited badinage finally meets its end, as forced strains of music flood the night. Insignificant pearls of white light shine down upon his face; Concealing yet revealing.

Bloodied, writhing bodies are exhumed from rubble. As people watch their metropolis crumble.
