I'm tired, mom.
"I'm tired, mom." but not tired like a need to sleep, tired like I'm so fucking done with my job and I want the world to stop and I just need a cup of tea.

Our Sovereignty
Visitors, wolves, slyly cloaked in wooly white fur, Claim your island in the middle of the Pacific but seize an available one.

The Face Collector
