Just a few blips of "creative writing" outside my usual pontificating mind.

7 deadly sins
By J.Crytzer - Posted on November 20th, 2008
I step outside, the air is cold. I see no one around the streets have been deserted. It’s very dark here and I can smell the odor of fear, what I sense is Blood. Warm, damp, sticky. It’s silent but all I can hear are screams. Read More »

When you’ve looked to the wrong places, time and time again
When there’s no one to tell you that you’ve done it once more
You can know that there’s one condition Read More »
