  • (Breena's POV) Her vision blurred. Light became fractured rays. Everything broke apart like shattered ice. She shivered in the space of nothingness. For a beat she was the emptiness and no one could reach her. Nothing mattered because nothing was everything.
Waiting game…

Felt sorry for this poor little bent paperclip, so I took its picture and used it to hold together an important document at work. Have you showed a paperclip some love today? Tell that stapler to take a hike!

Me going for the sultry look...totally nailed it! Uh, if the bored-crazy-person look is sexy! LOL o.O
