All Possible States



Storms are a destructive part of nature

Creeping in at the snail speed of dark

Like when an image freezes as a wave hits a rock

The spray of saltwater acting as a drifting cloud of thought

Moving through ghostly

Our friend in the photo

Like the fire fizzling into smoke ###
