- Why are they sitting here?
- Why isn’t there any colour in this illustration?

HANNAH AND MALAKAI
Posted at 15:17h, 23 JanuaryIt was a dark ,stormy night the haze was deep,moonless,lonely.The night was oblivious.Isolated.I was the only thing around.I don’t know if the people hid from me or their nightmares.It Seemed like the terrain had disappeared.Maybe I was cursed or I’m just a hidden Soul in a empty body.Sticks swished from side to side.I felt life less. I am?is there?just maybe?there might be?I ask myself am I the only one-the only monster out there?
