    “We who remember the time before were forced into submission. We have nothing left of us. We remember when it was revered to be your own star. To make something of yourself, to achieve. We have time now, but we are not allowed to shine. What we do is for them, to benefit them. We are cogs in their machine.”
    ― Maria P Frino, Xenure Station: A Billion Light Years

Even though the storm has passed, the wind is still whipping up the rain, our legs are soaked. And isn’t it fun standing in wet feet?”
    ― MariaPFrino
