"His eyes were set on the moon's pure reflection on the rolling waves and his ears were filled with the melody of raindrops splashing into the sea. This was the one place he could unleash his inner demons and fight a one-on-one battle against them. He would let his thoughts gradually swim up to the surface and listen to them one by one instead of being caught in the midst of thousands of them. He didn't need water to feel like he was drowning." --- Copyright © 2014 by Del (delinquentdreams) cover by: @-therapy

❝If life were a palette of colors, which color would best simulate you?❞ Red; The glow of intensity. Red is the color of burning fire, capable of massive destructions. Red is the blood circulating in our body. Red is what keeps us alive. Although red is often misunderstood as a deadly color, red is the color of roses, the symbolism of love. Red is Jace Marshall. Blue; The stain of tranquility. Blue is the color of the gleaming sky. Blue is what shields the dark clouds from forming a savage storm. Blue is the beautiful ocean surrounding the world, supposing the dangers concealed deep within the tides. Blue is Kyle Reyes. Yellow; The tinge of radiance. Yellow is the color of sunflowers blooming in a delicate spring day. Yellow is the sun beaming the world with its endless rays of light. But even the sun gets concealed behind the clouds, the darkness overlapping the radiant light when nighttime falls. Yellow is Lacey Ronan. The three most basic colors of the color wheel collides unexpectedly in an unexpected place. What various colors are they capable of making together?

What is it like to know a polite, yet almost mad genius who hides many secrets away from the world? Kester Hughes knows exactly what it's like.

dear stray eyelashes, ladybugs, dark tunnels, wishbones, dandelions, pennies, shooting stars, 11:11, and birthday candles, when will you do your job?

Charlie doesn't speak, so he paints.

when you have too many thorns, all you can do is paint them in red, because, maybe then, they will look like petals [sequel to shades of blue]

The Diner has seen its fair share of the people of Midland, New York. There's Andrea, who doesn't quite know why she keeps coming back, save for the fact that it's the only place she doesn't feel constantly watched. There's Gregory, who people-watches, filling everyone around him with stories instead of filling himself with food. There's Milo, who often zones out as he waits on his patrons, dreaming of the day he can finally escape. And there's Monique, who simply likes the pancakes (and her waiter) a little too much.
