Hello everyone,

You may be wondering why I removed my City of Masks chapters from this blog. The main reason for this is because I am still in the process of writing my story. I felt more comfortable removing it just incase someone wanted the idea for themselves and managed to morph it into their own story. City of Masks is my creative baby and the thought of someone taking my idea and changing it to suit their own ideas is heartbreaking.

I know everything creative is about being inspired from past works, but I just feel safer that the chapters are not up here at all. One day I may get it published, I really hope I do, and it will be out in the open again.

I found this really old poem I wrote in a forgotten notebook. This was back in my angst teenage days. I was going out with an emo at the time...bad move. Anyway, this was written one night when someone close to me had died. This poem makes me laugh now.

Another night spent in the cold,
Love bounces off the walls outside,
Loneliness is abundant everywhere, I realise...

And that's the last bit I could read. The rest seems to have been smudged by water or something being spilled on it. Careless.
