Jagged
Based on Jhonen Vasquez’s JTHM comic
jagged, I cut open my wall and I saw the emptiness inside the mirror. The mirror that made up society. The dead rat that was full of saw dust and full of trash, I saw hatred and they all had it for each other, they just wore masks, some hide it better than others but I don’t I am free I am free I am—-
I cut open the wall and fed it the guts, I feed the wall the people so the monster doesn’t escape. The mirror looks jagged, I must be the only real person.
Jagged mirroring rats.

A Minute's Difference
It was a Tuesday, 2:58...59 in the afternoon. My friend Andy was white-knuckled gripping the edge of his school desk, staring desperately at the second hand of the clock slooowly circling round, while our teacher droned on and on. A girl behind me cracked her gum. Another classmate was fervently scribbling notes. I was trying to look just awake enough not to get called on. Wrapped in my grey hoodie, eyes drooping behind uncut bangs, head leaning on folded arms, I appeared the cliche of a bored teenage boy, on the verge of daydreaming his way into a more exciting life.

I took a look at your artist first, then i read you piece. While I'm no closer to understanding it has taken my appreciation to a new level! Good Job!
I don't know. This one feels a little "jagged." Highly thought provoking.
Mirrors portray true images, you painted them, great job 😊
Oh wow. This is so descriptive, and creepy. Well done.
This was so crazy good!!! What a way to paint a picture!! Great work :)
