This is a VOCALOID fanfic I wrote for fun. It's inspired by the song, "Quicksand" by VocaCircus aka CircusP (You should go listen to it :D and more of their songs!). It is originally sung by KAITO and I really enjoyed listening to the deep lyrics and his beautiful voice :3 so I thought it would be cool to make a story about it. This is my first time writing so please have mercy! Oh also if you like what you read please leave a vote and a comment, it'll really help me keep going. Enjoy!
