Sang the words
Which must out
Lest the pain in my head
Become too great
to contain within

Then came pencil and pen
For me to sing with my hands
Words flowing f"   ...read more »

Cristal's writing

Alvalor (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
26 chapters   —   updated 7 days ago, 03:52PM
description: I started this book almost two years ago. (wow, really that long?) It's not the best, and I don't expect it to go anywhere, but it's fun to write. So there. This is the story of a boy whose life is difficult for him to face. So, instead, he buries himself in his books and imagination. After a particularly hard day, he finds a strange stone in the grass on his way home from school. He takes it home, begins to read, and it transports him into the book he's reading. This is the story of his adventure inside a story. This is what I've wanted.
Running From Me, Running From High School (Poetry)
