From Top to Toe

[…]
What We Need?

A killing machine, […]
War Begone, We Shall Have No More of Thee

Tail of the Worm
~~~~~ Beneath the surface of the shadow, Live the voices, Who listen to the voices. Ordinary people Acting in extraordinary ways. An unexamined life, Ancient wisdom cautions, Is not worth living.
