centre of the universe: the dreaming

  • Who made you?

    I am scared. Bloody terrified, to tell you the truth, but I don’t get to be scared. Not really. I have to wear the right mask, because if I show that something is affecting me, the world might fall apart around me and I’ll have to stand in the rubble and admit that because I…
