Sometimes when I'm silent,
And my mind is blank,
Is the moment I realize
How low I've sank.
***
And then somehow
Through others' speech
I learn so much more
than a human can teach.
***
And then it hits me,
That if only I would
Shut my mind
And just do as I should;
***
Then I will soar;
And then I will give;
And then I'll let go;
And then... I will live.

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
