How could I have ever lived in something so square? There once was a box, and yes I lived there.
Never before had I thought that I would lose myself, in things I thought I felt. But there I was, each day, allowing someone to box me up and put me on a shelf.
I came to know the box, a place like no other. I grew to call it home, even though inside I felt trapped and smothered.
Once in a great while, she took me out of the box and I’d just melt. The box became so familiar that when she left me, I decided to live in it all by myself

Perception
This was written for Paul's wonderfully creative unofficial challenge which you can read about in the link below! I chose to 'remix' or in my case, answer? Paul's words with my own, using his poem, Great Nothingness, as the inspiration. All words in italics are Paul's. His original piece was an acrostic for the Dancing with Distraction Vocal challenge. I followed the acrostic theme...you can see for yourself what I chose :)

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
