EVERBRIGHT CITY OF LIGHTS 2035. Content Warning.
I created this story music video today as my dream unfolds into the storyline of light, darkness, volcanos of illusion, and spreading love in their new castle as they won their fight against dark entities. A new story dedicated to my fairy tale fantasies of dreams amidst the volcanic corruption in DC. The vultures spew volcanic ashes to cover the land of Vulture City. The two lovers create a city of light through the magic of their love that shines so bright in the night. This is my creation from my brain of dreams.

fear; make it known
it is easy to wonder why we are taught to swallow our words, complaints and worries dissolving on our tongues like salt; only sugar can leave our mouths, even as it only falls out in sickening, sopping clumps; confidence is treachery, succumbing is natural, normal, a peaceful, simple order, a bended knee to the knees on our necks, crushing us as we apologize for not dying any faster; what world is this, that lying in certain, pretty swirls, in delicate, thin-scrawled fonts, is rewarded while honesty and courage is continually stomped down on like a bug, a disgusting, insignificant, lower thing, something that makes us weak; what if appeasing the ones who ruin us is not a strength, but a world of pain we all submit to without a second thought; what if that thought alone ruins us?
